40% ss and medicare, 20% defense, 6% interest on debt. That leaves 1/3 of the budget is
everything else. Adding 30 million people to the rolls... many of those people already cost huge amounts of money at the ER and in the overall cost of health care. Having uninsured is not cheap. Currently 83 million people are covered by gov. health insurance. 30 million more won't be directly added. Many will be able to get private insurance due to the changes the bill institutes. This is from the cbo, not a liberal organization: 143 billion decrease in the budget deficit over a decade. Some of that is from tax rates going to Clinton levels. I know, it is unfair in your opinion.
