    House health care bill exceeds $1 trillion

    By windchill29  |  Posted October 23, 2009  |  Illinois
     

    Health care legislation taking shape in the House carries a price tag of at least $1 trillion over a decade, significantly higher than the target President Barack Obama has set, congressional officials said Friday as they struggled to finish work on the measure for a vote early next month.

    Some moderate Democrats have expressed reluctance to support a bill as high as $1 trillion. Last month, Obama said in a nationally televised address before a joint session of Congress that he preferred a package with a price tag of around $900 billion

     

    I would love to support a bill like this, but with this price tag. It still asks the question. Who's gonna pay for it?
