Fox's Mort Kondracke Lies,says Kennedy's Health care cost est wrong by 10x

[papau]

Mort's "prescription drug benefit by itself will cost $500 billion a year" should be "prescription drug benefit by itself will cost $500 billion over 10 years" - so Senator Kennedy's numbers were correct - but you must trust fair and balanced FOX!!! :-)

Kondracke attacked Kennedy with false Medicare stat

Roll Call executive editor and FOX News contributor Morton M. Kondracke overstated the cost of the prescription drug benefit by a factor of ten to falsely accuse Senator Edward Kennedy (D-MA) of grossly understating the cost of a proposal to create a single-payer healthcare system by expanding Medicare to cover all Americans from cradle to grave. Kondracke insisted that Kennedy's estimate of $600 billion in Medicare expansion costs was "nonsense" because "the prescription drug benefit by itself will cost $500 billion a year."
