>> The program will cost a half-trillion dollars over 10 years, or more by some estimates.

Nowhere near. The program was never budgeted at that and it has consistently come in massively under budget every single year. Why?

Now, it is a fact, that if the D. bill passes, it will ramp up Part D costs massively. But that's on your team.

It is important to recognize that the reason the Ds didn't support the bill is that it DIDN'T SPEND ENOUGH. So, it is quite disingenuous to try and make the argument you just did.
