LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

True cost of health care is already emerging

It’s interesting to note that much of the media, who told the public that the health care reform package would be deficit-reducing, failed to report the new cost adjustment made by the Congressional Budget Office in the past few days. The CBO has added $115 billion to the 10-year cost of the bill. Guess you can kiss the $140 billion in deficit reductions goodbye.

Of course anyone who followed the passage of this bill knew much larger costs were tagged onto other bills to disguise the true cost of the political lunacy. Keep voting for the career politicians and one day you will have to pay for the funded and unfunded debts rapidly approaching $150 trillion.

And please don’t forget the billions that will be our part of the International Monetary Fund’s bailout of Greece, with Spain and Portugal soon to follow. As P.T. Barnum knew, there’s a sucker born every minute. Who knew it was the American public?
