Let's Go Trough Some Numbers Based On The CBO Report

Now follow me on this folks. According to the Presidential speech to Congress a few weeks ago, there are currently 30 million people who don't have health care right now. Today Democrats came out and said that the new health care bill will cover 94% of the people in the country. So let's use some basic math. If 94% of people will have health care if this bill passes, that means there will still be 6% without health care. So, with a current population of 307,545,788 times 6% will still leave 18,452,747 who still will not have health care! The CBO came out today and said the health care bill will cost $829 billion. If you take $829 billion and divide it by the people who will get coverage due to the health care bill, which is the remainder of the 30 million people, you get $71,792 per person who will now get coverage. Unbelievable!
