8. CLAIM: $3 billion in savings from reducing Medicare spending on discarded medications FACT: $2.8 billion is estimate of Medicare drugs thrown away every year due to single use vials. Setting aside concerns about safety, this dollar amount will certainly not reach $3 billion. — PolitiTweet.org

This $550 billion of spending is on top of the baseline which already isn't paid for. The Highway Reauthorization has a $100B deficit. Real pay-fors in this bill (future spectrum auctions, Bitcoin tax, GSE fees, and a Superfund tax) should be used to cover that shortfall. — PolitiTweet.org
