Harry Reid Admits Health Care Bill Will Cost $2 Trillion?

He must mean after the Democrats finish all those amendments they plan when the bill reaches the Senate floor. Senator Reid downplays $54 billion as a trivial amount. He must be numbed by the trillions in deficit spending the Democrats have passed this year.



From the video:

"He talked about CBO saying that there would be $54 billion saved each year if we put caps on medical malpractice and put some restrictions — tort reform — $54 billion. Sounds like a lot of money, doesnt it, Mr. President? The answer is yes. But remember, were talking about $2 trillion, $54 billion compared to $2 trillion. You can do the math. We can all do the math. Its a very small percent."
