How much does Health Care Reform ultimately cost?
I've got a personal friend telling me its a majority of the nations debt. Considering our debt was all ready quite large, and the bill is funded through its own tax provisions and revenue generation in the legislation, I'm calling bullshit.

Can someone give me a figure? I tried the google and wikipedia but haven't found anything yet.

1. Health debt is personal debt
Therefore, not part of the national debt.

National debt is driven by war mongering.

Wars are fought on credit cards.

3. On grandparents computer, visitng family, can't get it to open. I got the funding measures off
wikipedia though. Of course you can't argue with these folks, they'll still say its somehow catapaulting our debt forward- nevermind the fact that the funding is written into law.
