    You're right it's 1.3 trillion. sorry, the phone calculator wouldn't go that high.

    266,000,000 x 5,000 = 1,300,000,000,000

    or the 2.66 billion extra cost.

    50,000,000 x 5,000 = 2.5 billion paid out for free.

    Before ObamaCare, 266M x $4000 = $1.064 trillion
    After ObamaCare, 317M x $5000 = $1.585 trillion
    The insurance companies rake in an additional $521 billion

    Thanks Obama! Where do we make out the campaign checks?

    Well, that's assuming your numbers for price and population are right.

    Somehow I think the cost of health care is way more than $1.5T.

    More like 17% of GDP. Roughly $2.7T.

    No, you were spot on. We are being made to stand and take what is being done to us
    by the Chief Democrats in charge. Haggling over how much he gets is not
    very interesting. I think he is due for a hell of lot more than he planned on.
    I have a feeling there are more than me that don't like this shit

    I was going by the advertised national averages, said ironically by the "Obama Administration"; which is probably more skewed like you mentioned.

    Obama is a curious case. Between claiming to know nothing of the NSA's wiretapping of foreign (allied) leaders to having no idea how his signature domestic achievement actually works, I really have to ask, who the hell is in charge in his administration? I freely admit that I voted for the guy the first time around because frankly McCain's age and Palin being next in line scared the hell out of me, but his incompetence is reaching W. levels

    World Banks says 17.9% of GDP. I was off by .9%, must be the mad cow.

    Obama claims average of $328.

    Kaiser claims $215 in 2010.

    328x12x317M = ~1.25T

    $215x12x317M = $818B

    ObamaCare policies cost $407B more than Kaiser policies. Enough to pay down half the deficit.

    Hi all, I just came to say I am sad that it seems Obama has lied on many issues. I am most worried/upset on the NSA fiasco. I would still vote for him given the chance over McCain and Romney.

    A solid post. And I agree with it 100%. Perhaps his real issues are the people around him.

    It seems there are very few honest politicians around these days.

    It's not like politicians have lied before, but there have been sooooo many promises that he's broke. In fact, there really hasn't been anything he promised that came true. I don't know why you would vote for him again. Could you imagine what damage he could do if he had another term?

    I like how earlier this morning, the big news story on the front of a few news sites was that the White House knew that many people would lose their current coverage under Obamacare, yet the Obama continued to tell everyone they could keep their current health care (so he was lying through his teeth).

    Hours later, despite a lack of significant news yet today, everything that makes the White House look terrible is removed from headlines (unless you go to Faux News).

    I'm afraid the choice is boiling down to "liar or stupid?" Give the choice I'm actually hoping for liar; incompetence is the biggest sin in a "leader"

    Apparently you didn't check cnn.com. Headline is "Obama Under Siege: Obamacare, NSA, Benghazi -- an axis of trouble". Sounds like the opposite of removing EVERYTHING that makes the White House look terrible.
