Savings over what?

The plan with and W/O the PO...the CBO estimated that at medicare rates the savings over 10years would add up to 100B, at Medicare + 5% the plan would save 85B.

It showed significant savings over the proposal without the public option. If I leave the bacon out of my breakfast today I will save 100 calories over the breakfast with the bacon. But I will be consuming more calories than if I didn't eat breakfast at all.
