The cost estimates of the Medicare bill are of great concern..........
$500 Thousand Million over 10 years in NEW spending (wealth transfers)...........
For many, this is the only issue, new spending.

I've acknowledged the cost concern in the article. But I'm also appealing to people to show some integrity and consider other aspects of the bill which will begin to reign-in the overall costs of the program.
To bang on the price tag and say "this is the only issue that matters" is short-sighted. The price tag is a concern, but consider the other issues which may mitigate that price tag.
