>> What does that mean? It's not paid for...what does "work effectively" mean?

It gives seniors access to basic medications and the program has consistently come in under budget. Had it not been ruined by the bill, the cost might well have dropped to 20B/year, which is nothing by Obama standards.

Keep in mind your "fiscal" criticism is pretty ridiculous given that Obama has tripled the deficits over GWB era deficits. $20-30B/year is literally chickenfeed by Obama standards.
