Austin Texas USA, April 15 2010: Karen Hughes, a former State Department official and advisor to President George W. Bush and now a Burson Marsteller Public Relations executive, expresses her views on the newly-passed health care legislation during an interview with Texas Tribune CEO Evan Smith (left). Hughes said that the Affordable Care Act, derisively called Obamacare by many Republicans who oppose it, will cost taxpayers more money than they will potentially save in premiums. © Bob Daemmrich
