Really, in those days as I recall, the cost was estimated from zero to more money than exists.
I was one from the beginning who was alarmed at the impact on our deficit. I even used the word I have been criticizing.....socialist. I was really upset about the entire thing.
As much negativity as we see here now alarms me. I was happy to see the savings in healthcare costs that we had. THAT was the goal.
Watching the dismantling of something that did actually work, REALLY benefited so many people, and actually reduce the deficit is really sad because those doing that dismantling are doing it in a very mean spirited way. No reason given......just don't like the guy who got it do, so hurting others seems to be just shrapnel because those folks have increased the deficit so much without even offering help to those who need it.
But, to your point, new things, new estimates and they were really off,although you don't hear anyone talk about that. Might think people deserve good news.
