[QUOTE="brett636, post: 704343, member: 249"] The 2nd decade "savings" are most likely way off base as our government's history of calculating entitlement program costs usually are. Our only hope now is the Supreme Court strikes down this unconstitutional legislation well before it makes it to a 2nd decade of law. Just for reference in 1965 when Medicare was enacted it was predicted it would only cost $9 billion by 1990. In 1990 medicare cost $121 billion. Think we are going to save $1.2 trillion in the 2nd decade of this legislation? Think again... [/QUOTE]
