We're Taking Up A Collection

America, we need to step up and help out. Nancy Pelosi has unveiled her health care plan than she promised she would keep under $900,000,000 ($900 trillion) to gain the favor and approval of the President. Now we hear that she didn't quite make it. Estimates are that it will be over $1,000,000,000 ($1 trillion) - for openers. There are many parts of the bill that haven't be calculated or determined.

Nevertheless, if every single person in the United States (estimated earlier today at 307,822,352) all chipped in and gave $3,250, we hit the initial goal of $1 trillion. Mind you that this changes nothing that we have now - it just pays for what she wants to enact.

Also, there's the enormously huge startup costs for creating a government run insurance company and staffing it - not accounted for in the bill.

Then, there's the $500,000,000 ($ half-trillion) being borrowed from the Medicare fund for this new plan that is going to need to be replaced.

Wow, we're beginning to talk about some serious money here just because Speaker Pelosi has expensive tastes.
