WASHINGTON – Health care legislation drafted by a key Senate committee would expand coverage to 94 percent of all eligible Americans at a 10-year cost of $829 billion, congressional budget experts said Wednesday, a preliminary estimate trumpeted by the White House and likely to power the measure past a major hurdle within days.

Based on the "Cost of W's Iraq fiasco" tally on the top-right of this page, the 10-year cost of W's fiasco exceeds $1 trillion.
Health care reform: cheaper than Iraq war!!!

Update: it occurs to me that the Administration needs a lying shill like Wolfowitz to testify that, "America has sufficient resources to pay for this from premiums, with no impact on federal budget."... This along the lines of Wolfie's assertion that, "Iraq has sufficient resources to pay for its own recovery" - this being the lie that convinced folks the pre-war estimate of $50Bn for W's Iraq fiasco was even close to accurate!
