CBO on the Republican Option to Obamacare
The CBO Document.
A Preliminary Analysis of a Substitute Amendment to H.R. 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act
CBO and the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimate that the amendment would reduce federal deficits by $68 billion over the 2010-2019 period; it would also slightly reduce federal budget deficits in the following decade, relative to those projected under current law, with a total effect during that decade that is in a broad range between zero and one-quarter percent of gross domestic product.
Lower Deficit…
Adding millions to the number of insured…
Modest Tort Reform…
Increased consumer choice…
Lower insurance premiums…
BUT…
because it’s a Republican plan, it won’t even see the light of day in this “great debate” over healthcare reform that our media is reporting… or not reporting… Whatever they write seems to be far, far from reality and even further from the truth.
