The projected cost for 2019 is ~$167B, with savings (from Medicare exclusively) of ~$125B.
You're really projecting that (1) if no changes are made, the Medicare savings will be zero (no fair saying that the Rs will gut the changes--that's a different issue) and (2) that the actual cost will be north of $1.6T, in 2010 dollars? PUt another way, you're saying that the *Federal budget* cost of ACA will be over 2/3s of *AGGREGATE* US HC spending in 2008?
You haven't been preparing for the coup, you've been on a really impressive bender.
