Obama said:"And if we are able to slow the growth of health care costs by just one-tenth of 1 percent each year -- one-tenth of 1 percent -- it will actually reduce the deficit by $4 trillion over the long term."
Do any of you supporters really understand how totally ridiculous that statement is?
In 2010 Total health care expenditures was $2.5 TRILLION!
Using Obama's statement "stop growth 1/10th of 1%"
That would be $2.5 BILLION!
Divide $4,000,000,000,000 by $2,500,000,000 how many years would it take to reduce the deficit over the long term???
1,600 YEARS
