Also, read the first line of this:

So this, in a nutshell, is what happened.
The Obama administration went to the medical industry, and asked them to save money. They said "Do I have to explain how I am going to do it, or even commit to really doing anything?". They said "no". So the medical industry said "oh, ok, sure. We will save you money".
So there is this "good faith" savings, that no one is really tied to, but Washington is using this figure to balance REAL spending.
So the 200 million that no one really has to save to Washington, is the same as spending 200 dollars of out money.
That's Washington's version of "pay as you go".
Why are these people not in jail?
