Harry Reid: Obamacare Will Cost $2 Trillion

We've all known that the real numbers of Obamacare would far exceed any estimates given by Obama and the Democrats, and even the CBO, and thanks to Harry Reid we know the number will be close to $2 trillion. Here's what he said during a press conference:

"He talked about CBO saying that there would be $54 billion saved each year if we put caps on medical malpractice and put some restrictions — tort reform — $54 billion. Sounds like a lot of money, doesnt it, Mr. President? The answer is yes. But remember, were talking about $2 trillion, $54 billion compared to $2 trillion. You can do the math. We can all do the math. Its a very small percent."

And isn't it interesting that $54 billion is not enough money to make it worth instituting tort reform, one of the only things that would actually reduce the cost of health care in this country.
