[quote=Zeitgeist]Sec. 3111, Pg. 931 – The government will establish a Preventative and Wellness Trust fund, with initial cost of $30,800,000,000 (Billions more).
Health Benefits Advisory Committee
According to Division A, Title I, Subtitle C, Section 123 of HR 3200, a Health Benefits Advisory Committee shall be established to be chaired by the Surgeon General of the United States. It will consist of 9 more individuals who are not federal employees that are appointed by the President of the United States. It will also consist of 9 members who are appointed by the Comptroller General of the United States. Also, up to eight more members will be appointed in even numbers by the President of the United States who are federal employees and officers. Each member of the committee will serve three year terms. The Health Benefits Advisory Committee will recommend to the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services benefit standards and periodic updates to such standards.[/quote]
Which bill are you referring to with regards to the initial cost of $30.8 billion? That does not appear anywhere in HR 3200. The first year cost is $2.4 billion. The 9 year cost is $35.3 billion. or approximately 5% of what the war in Iraq has cost over a shorter period of time.
