None is too absolute, but much of the problems have been asking programs to do more than planned for. The 6% number is a plan, spelled out, and it includes everyone. So, not as much room to move away from.
But take the numbers and tell me why you object to keeping more money?
There are so many exceptions to the plan and so many allowed to opt out of it that the original plans aren't certain to be what you think they are. I am still waiting for you to tell me any Federal Social program that cost what it was supposed to cost and offered better care than individuals can get on their own?
Look, I totally understand you wanting this program to be a success but history says you are wrong. There are almo t 18000 pages of regulations right now, Max Baucus who helped write the bill is now talking about a train wreck, implementation is going to be a disaster which is something you cannot seem to grasp. I am over 65, had to give up my private healthcare program and go on Medicare and let me tell you I hate Medicare after going off my private healthcare program. I guess that isn't a problem for you since you aren't on Medicare therefore it is easy for you to believe what you want to hear.
Your trust is naive at best and if you are wrong this will be the biggest disaster ever to hit this country because it will affect every American. Costs are going to skyrocket and waste, fraud, and abuse will increase dramatically, they always do with govt. initiated social programs. Will the system work? Why do you believe it will?
