First our esteemed Senate Majority leader announces that health care reform will cost $2 trillion, yes, that's $2,000,000,000,000.

Then to top it off he thinks $54 billion, that's $54,000,000,000, is chump change and not important.

I'll bet that the trial lawyers who receive that $54 billion don't think it's chump change.
Not to mention the amount of additional money spent when doctors order unnecessary tests and procedures because they fear that the trial lawyers will set their sights on them.

A trillion dollars here and a trillion dollars there. This is eventually going to add up to real money.
