Dem Governor: Obamacare Could Cost State $3 Billion in 5 Years

The Chattanooga Times reports:

Gov. Phil Bredesen warned Tuesday that pending federal health care legislation could cost Tennessee far more than the $735 million "best estimate" his administration previously has cited. The $735 million would stretch over five years, but "in addition, there are huge unknowns for the states in this reform," Gov. Bredesen said, estimating that those costs, if realized, could exceed another $3 billion from 2014 to 2019.

If you read Fred Lucas's piece in THE WEEKLY STANDARD on TennCare, you know that Bredesen must now be something of an expert on cost overruns of government health-care boondoggles.
