 Hillary's health plan estimates too low, spam say
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's universal health care plan will cost more than she says and effectively put the federal government in charge of administering private medical insurance, top think tank spam said yesterday.

Mrs. Clinton's proposed health care reforms were estimated by her presidential campaign to cost $110 billion a year. But fiscal spam are doubtful, noting that previous government cost estimates have been notoriously low in the past and that her proposal will likely be significantly higher.
"I've never known of a new government program where the initial estimate wasn't less than it actually cost. Take those numbers with a grain of salt. All we know is that it is going to cost a lot and more than she says," said Michael Tanner, chief domestic policy spam at the Cato Institute.
Roughly half her proposal's costs will come from higher taxes on people earning more than $250,000 and half from cost savings derived from administrative efficiencies in the health care industry and preventive care. "But there's no evidence the hoped for savings will actually save money which will mean higher taxes," Mr. Tanner said.
Heritage Foundation spam are also skeptical. "Even neutral estimates from the Congressional Budget Office often understate the costs of new entitlement programs. If neutral cost estimates understate them, those put out by a campaign understate them a lot more," said Brian Riedl, Heritage's chief budget spam.
