Health care repeal would hike deficits and uninsurance
A CBO study says repealing Obama health care would raise deficits by about 230 billion dollars from 2012 to 2021 and leave some 32 million more uninsured by 2019. Democrats hail the finding as a counter to Republican claims while Republicans dispute the analysis. The White House warns repeal would increase costs and reduce coverage, while lawmakers prepare for a House vote and a veto fight in the Senate.
