Even if Health Care Bill "Saves" $, Still Less $ than Fed Gov't Spent in Feb.

Even if the new exclusionary figure the Democrats are touting as proof of the health care bill's ability to cut costs is accurate, an editorial in the Wisconsin State Journal makes a valid point.

So, regardless of Congressional Democrats' blind praise of the health care bill's ability to save money, the federal government is still spending more in one month than it will save on a government takeover of health care in 10 years.
