"President Obama's healthcare reform law coverage provisions will cost less but cover fewer people than first thought," the Hill reported, considering data from the CBO's Tuesday report. Revised estimates of ObamaCare's coverage provisions indicate that 2 million fewer people will acquire coverage by 2016.


Moreover, the CBO estimates that 4 million Americans will lose their employer-sponsored health plans by 2016, a far cry from the 1-million-person figure forecasted last year. Further yet, 1 million to 2 million fewer people will be granted access to the federally-subsidized healthcare exchanges, while an additional 1 million are estimated to qualify for Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Provision.



just like i said in another thread a few weeks ago...the numbers they used to come up with the price were cooked so as to bring the original bill in under a trillion dollars, which was congresses 'magic number' to assure passage. many said they wouldn't vote for ppUca if the price was over a trillion.
now, it's going to cost more, while covering less. sounds like typical d.c. politics as usual.
there have been estimates that as high as six million would lose employee health insurance. they're already quadrupled from 1 million to 4 million-does anyone doubt more will be added?

and another million added to medicaid, on top of the almost doubling of current rolls. states already struggling to pay medicaid, what will they do when costs double to go along with the number of people on medicaid doubling?
