Politico has given 2 answers in 2 stories , one story said 865 per person per month per the CBO and the other story said $600 a month ascribed to an unamed source in the negotiations.

I have googled my head off for what should be a simple answer - how much?

IF it is as much as it appears to be at this moment, then touting opening up Medicare for a small segment of the population at astronomical rates that most cannot afford as the crowning achievement of healthcare reform is beyond ridiculous.
