You may recognize the link... It was the story cited by Rawstory... But apparently (notice how this is used here, meaning the same thing as in the other tread, that it is apparent) missed this part of the story:
The measure is likely to ignite a fiery debate because of the costs involved. Backers estimate ColoradoCare would raise $25 billion a year for health-care costs through a proposed 10 percent payroll tax. Critics decry it as a massive expansion of government that would double the size of the state budget.
One would be wise to note that it is the "backers" that lowball the number at $25 Billion.
Colorado collected about $60 Million in MJ taxes.
