On Real Clear Politics, a story about Obama's health care proposal is aptly titled, Upfront Costs Complicate Obama's Health Care Plan.
Costs are emerging as the biggest obstacle to President Barack Obama's ambitious plan to provide health insurance for everybody.
The upfront tab could reach $1.2 trillion to $1.5 trillion over 10 years, while expected savings from wringing waste and inefficiency from the health care system may take longer to show.
Details of the health legislation have not been written, but the broad outlines of the overhaul are known. Economists and other experts say the $634 billion that Obama's budget sets aside for health care will pay perhaps half the cost.

Why would you expect the math to add up?
He’s not trying to fix anything, as he claims.
He’s simply setting the stage to maximize CONTROL!!!!
You might notice that his “energy plan” only makes the problem worse.
His “education plan” reinforces a failed education system and eliminates support for charter schools and other options that have produced better results at half the price.

Longer to show?? Yeah, like in never.
This is the guy who says that “fiscal responsibility” means increasing spending by $2 trillion, and reducing “waste” by $17 billion. Arithmetic doesn’t mean much to him.
and why would this bother the obamatrons and the rest of the idiots who voted for this loser?
He doesn’t care if it adds up so long as it advances the socialist agenda.
I defy anyone to show me the data on a single government social program that had declining costs after it once was started.
Everybody includes illegals.
When exactly has Team Obama’s rainbows and unicorns math ever added up? Anyone can get a group of Obama liberal pushers and so-called economists together and espouse that the math will or does add up. Nothing new here with the math surrounding Obama care.

“and the medical establishment gets richer than ever”
On what planet?
Under socialized medicine the only doctors out there are from Asia - ie India and Pakistan. Check the numbers of foreign born doctors in UK and Canada - upwards of 80%. No one else wants to go through the length of training for the meager pay. Second rate doctors are the first casualty of government intervention into medical care.
