Frankly Scarlett I don’t think anyone has a clue what the costs are really going to be until full implementation and there is only faint hope that isn’t going to happen sooner rather than later.
and that is why Krauthammer advised the GOP to stop fighting implementation now,let the debacle occur, let people see what they bought when they voted democrat, let GOP win the next round of elections, and then repeal or amend the law.
Makes a lot of sense imho.
Full implementation will only occur over a number of years after numerous funding and budgeting crises. That’s the plan from the very beginning. Single payer is the goal.
There is no way to ever “know” the total costs. They will just grow and grow and grow and grow and grow. The tab will never stop growing.
