"Should be obvious. I think single payer, and to a lesser degree a public option will lower costs."

This is what I don't understand. You live here. Time after time the government has started programs which supposedly were going to cost x and ended up costing x+ if were lucky. More often it is x times x. I saw an article which claimed that we are paying I believe 9 times the cost of the original estimate for medicare. It is almost unheard of for the government to do something on time and on budget.

Yet you believe they will and what I can't understand is why.
