    Mind boggling

    Just posted on face book

    318 Million spent on the website + 52 Million in advertising + How many million on call centers? For 7.5 Million people (most of whom by all acounts already had insurance and were forced to go big goverment or be fined).

    Lets put this in context, there are 317 Million people in this country. We could have just cut a check for over a million bucks for each of them and just skipped all this Big goverment nonsense.
    People who wonder if the glass is half empty or full miss the point. The glass is refillable.

    If it is on Facebook, it must be true.

    But please explain the math for this high school graduate. Three hundred seventeen million people in this country and 318 million dollars spent, it just over a dollar a piece, no?

    I posted that I missed the middle part of the discussion. and it has nothing to do with it being posted on facebook. If you read the news at all then you no the numbers cited: 318 Million for the website, 52 million in advertising, etc are the most conservative estimates. Its probably been millions more when taking into account the call centers, local aide (45 million according to the Washington post) etc etc etc

    Now this

    only 1.4 million of these individuals were previously uninsured, (Rand survey).
    so now what do we have?
    Over 400 million spent (the most conservative estimate, its probably a lot more) to sign up 1.4 million previously uninsured.
    YAY big Government!

    I am sure this is whats passes for a success story with people like you. For the rest of us with a pinch of common sence its just insane.
