$1.6 Trillion in Next Decade for Healthcare for 5%

The Democrat/Obama health care plan is estimated to cost $1.6 trillion over just the next decade and would only cover an additional 16 million people or 5% of the population.

Ok, so we completely destroy today's health care system, give it to the government and balloon our deficit for decades to come (on top of the already magnificent Obama deficits) - all for 5% of the population. How can anyone be so idiotic?
