As regards a make-believe scheme, the source of funding coming from a middle class is utterly against the commitment of Democratic party.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;2.  No cost-competitive advantage does not clear the grave concern about the unsustainable cost of overall health care program in the long run.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;3.  Even with some benefit for primary practitioners, the baseless scheme does not come with fundamental payment reform, or a pay for value reimbursement formula. It means that the insurer-friendly scheme is not cleaning up the concerns over a quality issue and  $9trillion of deficit over the next decade.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; ((Here is some of CBO analysis :  While the costs of the financial bailouts and economic stimulus bills are staggering, they are only a fraction of the coming costs from Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Over the next decade, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects that each year Medicaid will expand by 7 percent, Medicare by 6 percent, and Social Security by 5 percent. These programs face a 75-year shortfall of $43 trillion--60 times greater than the gross cost of the $700 billion TARP financial bailout)). &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;4.
