Spring Surprise: CBO Says Health Care Reform to Cost $115 Billion More Than Originally Projected | FDL Action
The Congressional Budget Office just revised upwards the projected cost (PDF) of the new health care law by $115 billion. The increase is due mainly to the fact that the original CBO score of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act did not factor in the cost of actually having the government implement the reform via discretionary spending, and the law provided for a significant number of grants which did not have a specific dollar value.
I suspect at least some of the decisions about how to structure the new law’s grants and discretionary spending requirements were to help keep the CBO score low. Democrats became bizarrely and dysfunctionally obsessed with the CBO score about which most Americans are completely misinformed if they know anything at all.
Looks like as usual the Federal Govt lied to the public, they never have come in under budget, why we are trillions in the tank and growing so fast we are looking to become the next Greece so I can pay for someones HC
