Again let us adjust the 2000 estimate for inflation, which would make the estimate contribution total from workers and employers $20.6 billion. The actual 2000 figure for is $128 billion (not including supplementary medical insurance which tacks on another $89 billion. It's not clear from the Advisory Council report whether the Supplementary insurance is included in the above estimate, but I couldn't find a separate estimate for it).
Only off by a factor of 6.
