Are you really that retarded Gruss? I mean that in the most literal sense. Like unable to have grown up, discern cause and effect, consider the past and extrapolate to the future? You seem like a child lost in the woods.
Go look at the CBO report. It details 100 billion in savings over 10 years. It explains the savings in Medicare and the general public. I don't think it is optimal, but it is a start. It needs a whole lot more on the cost control side of things. But your complete and total inability to understand insurance and its related costs is astounding. Once upon a time, I had thought you vaguely intelligent and capable of following point A to B. Now I really do believe that you were a neocon once upon a time. I wasn't around this list for it, but I'll easily take it at face value now. If you have a problem with the CBO report (which is conservative compared to others) then by all means, present you critique. I'd welcome it in fact as I have some worries about the public option but have not been able to come up with a decent counter argument to the CBO estimate myself. Thus far all I've seen, however, is more sputum sucked from the same trach tube and perhaps you know what that smells like.
