Cost Estimate for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as Proposed on November 18

---

In total, CBO and JCT estimate that the legislation would increase outlays by $356 billion and increase revenues by $486 billion between 2010 and 2019.
---

Based on the extrapolation described above, CBO expects that Medicare spending under the bill would increase at an average annual rate of roughly 6 percent during the next two decades—well below the roughly 8 percent annual growth rate of the past two decades (excluding the effect of establishing the Medicare prescription drug benefit). Adjusting for inflation, Medicare spending per beneficiary under the bill would increase at an average annual rate of roughly 2 percent during the next two decades—much less than the roughly 4 percent annual growth rate of the past two decades. Whether such a reduction in the growth rate could be achieved through greater efficiencies in the delivery of health care or would reduce access to care or diminish the quality of care is unclear.

what does it all mean?

I made no statements, fluffy or otherwise. I posted info that does not involve spin.

The CBO estimates are linked to above in post #1.

I think the tax implications are addressed. What exactly is it you're trying to say?
