Ernie :
Not how I read it. Samuelson says, it seems to me, that the
health care package
actually packages, are fiscally ruinous. And there also is
sleight of hand since
there is a $ 200 billion "rider" that funds increased payments
to doctors
not figured in with debt estimates over the next 10 years.
With a few exceptions here and there, the health plans don't cut
costs
and we all will end up paying through the nose since the way
things
are written, the Democrats' supporters, the AMA, the insurance
industry, etc
aren't giving up anything at all, and they are major ( major )
reasons
for runaway health care costs.
We could add the GOP supporters like drug companies, I certainly
think we should,
but the point is, no matter how anyone looks at it, we are
talking trillions in new debt.

I'm not sure I see his point. It is almost like he's saying,
"yes the
health care bill itself isn't too bad, but Congress will inevitably
pass other legislation that makes things worse."
