		<description>Earlier, the revised HELP BILL with the public option and employer mandatory  has got a green light from the CBO, yet still, a new &#039;incomplete&#039; analysis of emerging House legislation said it would increase deficits by $239 billion over a decade.
But, CBO does not score any savings from prevention / wellness and the medical IT and the like, even as Prevention / Wellness  is an actual and essential part of the savings, without which the reform would be meaningless.

 Prevention / Wellness program can be compared to the &#039;levee&#039; in flood time. Let&#039;s just imagine the cost before disaster and after.
And the company without IT system might be messed up with lots of paper works and hardly survive in the business.
It may be hard to assess the specific number on those parts, even so, at least the substantive amount of remaining $239 billion  over a decade could be paid for and the remainder of it would be manageable over time one way or another, I think.
  
And I think the other things such as &#039;potential stem cell effect&#039;, &#039;mental stress relief&#039;, &#039;improved productivity / consumer confidence&#039;, and &#039;massive job creation&#039;, &#039;stock price effect&#039; and etc considered, the reform might be within reach. Most importantly, a few years later, if the excessive war and military spending goes toward the health care program, the cost issue does not matter at all, I think.
Edward M. Kennedy  argues, the perfect should not be the enemy of the good.

   Thank You !</description>
