Hiding Health Reform's Real Costs
Submitted on 11.25.2009
Washington: Senate Democrats say their reform bill will cost $848 billion over 10 years. They're misleading the public by starting the count in 2010. The true cost would be $1.8 trillion over a decade.
A picture can be worth 2,000 pages
Submitted by Michael Barone on 11.23.2009

Condition Serious but Not Hopeless
Submitted on 11.23.2009
Harry Reid scored a victory Saturday night. And part of the line of argument from those urging that senators vote against the motion to proceed Saturday night was: The bill is not likely to get better from here on in. So is it over? Abortion, high costs — is it all now a given? National Review Online asked a group of experts: What is a constructive, realistic conservative attitude toward Demcare in the Senate this Thanksgiving?
The Republican War Still Rages
Submitted by Sally C. Pipes on 11.23.2009
Two weeks ago on November 7, the House voted 220 to 215 in favor of Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s 1,900-page, trillion-dollar health-care bill. On Saturday, the Senate voted 60 to 39 to commence the health-care debate on Senator Harry Reid’s 2,074-page bill that will end up costing several trillion dollars over 10 years. Two battles have been lost but the war continues.
Why Americans dislike Obama's health care reform
Submitted by Sally C. Pipes on 11.22.2009
Earlier this week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., unveiled his chamber’s plan for health reform. The nearly 2,100-page bill boasts a price tag of about $850 billion and hues closely to the $1 trillion reform bill that recently passed the House. Democratic leaders have hit the airwaves to sell the country on the merits of their vision for reform.
Healthcare Bill Advances in Senate, Despite Receiving Failing Grade from Health Experts; Democrats Block Filibuster in Party-Line Vote
Submitted by Hans Bader on 11.21.2009
The healthcare bill is on the verge of passing the Senate, despite the fact that it has received a failing grade from healthcare experts like the Dean of Harvard Medical School, and the fact that it will increase taxes, deficits, and medical costs, while reducing lifesaving medical innovations.
Truly a turkey
Submitted by Michael Tanner on 11.20.2009
Just in time for Thanksgiv ing, Sen. Harry Reid has given us a giant turkey of a health-care bill. At 2,074 pages and more than 370,000 words, it's officially "scored" as costing $849 billion over 10 years -- $400 million per page, or $2.3 million per word.
Reid's fuzzy math
Submitted by Jeffrey H. Anderson, Ph.D on 11.19.2009
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is touting the Senate’s newest health-care bill as costing $849 billion over 10 years. But this uses the same accounting trick as past versions: 99 percent of the costs don’t kick in until the fifth year of that “10 year” period. And the true 10-year costs are well over twice what Reid's advertising: $1.8 trillion.
Roadmap to Victory
Submitted by Jeffrey H. Anderson, Ph.D, Tevi Troy on 11.19.2009
By proposing a health-care bill of their own, Senate Republicans can throw the extraordinary weaknesses of the Democratic bills into stark relief. In the wake of the Congressional Budget Office’s recent scoring of aspects of the House Republican bill, there is now an opening for Republicans to provide a clear contrast with the proposed Democratic overhaul.
Checking the ObamaCare Math
Submitted by Jeffrey H. Anderson, Ph.D on 11.18.2009
The health care debate has largely been a battle of numbers, and the most widely cited one — 46 million uninsured — isn’t even accurate.
