Is Obama's cost of health care realistic?

Due the math. Democrats say it will cost $1,000,000,000 over ten years to insure 31,000,000 people. Divide $1,000,000,000 by 31,000,000 and that's approximately $32 a year per person. That doesn't even pay for one doctors visit. Math majors out there whats wrong with my calculations? Or is Obama expecting that a large number of that 31 million will be required to buy their own health insurance?

    Obama does not appreciate thiese questions. Expect to be treated like Joe the Plumber, who also presented practical, realistic questions and concerns.

    Obama wants people who don't question or challenge him. He wants his agenda accomplished and his will obeyed.

    You left out three zeros. The number is $1,000,000,000,000 as in 1 trillion. This comes out to about $32,000 a person, but keep in mind that it will actually be lower per person because the amount of people on the plan is likely to increase. Our population is not steady.

    The only cost that is for sure is the cost of the job for anyone who votes for it!

    Confusing using Obama-nomics isn't it? Obama is a joke.
