Double the estimate, double the fun

Right Wing Nuthouse has "CBO estimates on Obamacare top $1 trillion": "That $1 trillion is a number the Congressional Budget Office is looking at right now. Estimates by others have used $1 trillion as a starting point and go up to $1.5 trillion."

Hmmm...I'm experiencing deja vu here. DC Examiner: "Universal coverage? First, look at the disaster in Massachusetts": "Just a year after the universal coverage law passed, The New York Times reported, state insurers were already jacking up rates to twice the national average."

In other words, no matter what they tell you: double the cost as the baseline minimum.
