No, but we know what the CBO said, it was all over the news when the law was passed. The vote was delayed a few days while the CBO scored the last plan.

The bottom line is that the original numbers were way off. The cost is almost double what they originally said. The whole thing is probably going to get overturned any way.

Yes, and the original income supporting the program is off now, too - it's higher, and it attenuates those figures of "higher cost estimates" being throw about by opponents of the law.
As two lower court highly-conservative, well-respected judges wrote strong opinions supporting Obamacare as clearly constitutional, I doubt it will be overturned. We'll know in about 6 weeks.
