One of the leading news this week is about the health care reform that President Obama is trying to push forward. The overhaul is estimated to cost somewhere around $1 trillion dollars over the next 10 years. Sounds like a big number, but when you consider the 42 million uninsured Americans, the price tag becomes $2,381 per person over the course of 10 years — not so bad.

Anyway, I found this YouTube video from Mint.com that helps you visualize the one trillion dollars amount.

What’s your thought on Obama’s Health Reform Plan and the $1 trillion price tag?
