Obamacare coverage costs rise in new CBO analysis
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates the Affordable Care Act will cost 1.34 trillion dollars over the next decade, 136 billion more than last year’s projection, driven largely by higher Medicaid enrollment and broader coverage. The analysis shows 22 million more people gaining coverage, with about 90 percent of Americans having insurance. Employers may reduce coverage as subsidies rise, while the law continues to expand public and private coverage and reduce the deficit overall.
