Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) claims the Senate health care reform bill would eliminate private insurance by subsidizing it to the tune of $450 billion:

CORNYN: It's breathtaking to me, Chris, the disdain with which this administration and Senate Democrats have for the private sector. If you eliminate the private sector when it comes to health provision, you're left with only the government.

CORNYN: I think, actually, Senator Durbin has underestimated the amount of tax dollars that would go to insurance companies under the Reid bill. I think it's about $450 billion.

CORNYN: This shouldn't be about demonizing the private sector, and, you know, glorifying the government sector.

CORNYN: I think it's about $450 billion that will go in the form of tax credits that will be directed by the Treasury Secretary to insurance companies.
