Over ten years, what will the government spend to provide "public" health care for 40 MILLION people?

In 2008 alone, Medicare cost 453.9 BILLION to cover about 45 MILLION people. Total Medicare Spending = 453.9 BILLION (Fiscal Year 2008) SOURCE: Congressional Budget Office. http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/102xx/doc1029… And, look at a few things Medicare does NOT cover: NO routine preventative care, including physical exams NO dental care. Medicare does not cover routine dental care or most dental procedures such as cleanings, fillings, tooth extractions or dentures. NO eye exams and eyeglasses NO hearing aids Co-pays - 20-50% of all charges, AFTER you pay a deductible Hospitalization Deductible = $1000+ SOURCE: EVERYWHERE

At least $500 BILLION per year. At least 5 TRILLION over ten years. 5,000,000,000,000 - look at all the pretty zeros.
