Repealing Obamacare Would Cost Government $137 Billion

$137 billion

What repealing the Affordable Care Act would cost the U.S. government over the next decade, according to a new CBO report. “The new report is the first federal assessment since the main provisions of the law took effect in 2014. It found that repealing the health-care law would increase deficits by $353 billion over 10 years. But after taking into account economic factors, including slightly larger workforce participation that would result from repealing the law, that amount would fall to $137 billion. … The analysis also concluded that repealing the health-care law would increase the number of uninsured Americans by 19 million in 2016.”
