It looks obvious

How expensive is "Free" nationalized health care? apparently, if we will follow Edwards’ plan, very expensive:

The question is whether other voters will cheer when they see the price tag — more than $125 billion a year.

Edwards is quick to acknowledge his spending on health care, energy and poverty reduction comes at a cost, with more plans to come. All told, his proposals would equal more than $1 trillion if he could get them enacted into law and operational during two White House terms.

To put the number in perspective, President Bush has dedicated more than $1.8 trillion to tax cuts. The cost of the Iraq war is nearing $450 billion. And this year’s federal budget is about $2.8 trillion.

Factoring the tendency of government’s programs to overrun the initial budgets, we might look back and wish for "only" $1 trillion. What is amazing is Edwards, and like, selling abilities - convincing the voters that they offering a chipper product.
