Sunday, October 19, 2003The estimated costs of the proposals to the federal budget over a 10-year period range from $89 billion (Bush) to $6 trillion (Kucinich). The costs of the Kucinich plan have not been estimated formally, but the campaign has placed its cost at this level. Gephardt’s plan is the second most expensive, primarily because of its dual role as an economic stimulus package—it infuses a substantial amount of money into businesses and state and local governments that already provide coverage. The Bush plan has the lowest cost due to its limited scope. The costs in billions of dollars over ten years are: Bush: $89 Dean: $932 Edwards: $590 Gephardt: $2,500 Kerry: $895 Kucinich: $6,117 Leiberman: $747 posted by Sydney on 10/19/2003 08:36:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
