Anything the government says will cost x amount I simply take that figure and multiply it by a minimum of three to a max of six. Some times it goes my times higher than that.
$107 trillion will become at least $321 trillion but I suspect the number will be closer to $750 trillion.
Heck, why not just round that number to an even quadrillion!

Why not multiply by ten? The original Congressional estimates in 1965 for Medicare were short by at least a factor of ten. I think we'll be looking at an ultimate Medicare debt of $500 Trillion or more.

(Health care reform is not a bad idea in itself, but this Bill is a terrible "solution".)
