Potential cost of repealing health care reform: $210 billionPosted by RJ and Makay on Feb 22, 2011 |
Repealing the new U.S. health care reform law enacted last year wouldn't save money. It would actually add $210 billion to the nation's deficit over the next decade, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates.
A major step in the repeal process, which may or may not be successful, was a House of Representatives measure last month aimed at eliminating a number of provisions designed to reduce federal health care costs and stripping out new revenue-creating taxes and fees. Neither the Senate nor the President Obama support the repeal of health care reform.
