Healthcare Math

So if we assume the cost of healthcare reform will be around $1 trillion...

...and we assume that there are 47 million uninsured (a high estimate to be sure)...

...and we assume that Obama's estimate of the annual average cost for healthcare now is $12,000...

...some simple math produces:

Cost for healthcare reform to insure 1 person = $21,277
That's almost $10,000 more than what the average person pays annually now. Intersting...
