<p><strong><span>CBO says proposed health care repeal will cost a trillion dollars more in the following decade</span></strong></p>
<p>The new U.S. House Republican majority is proposing what it calls the <em>Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act</em> (H.R. 2). Several enormous problems exist for this legislation besides the fact that it will not be considered in committee before a full house vote, not be amendable, not pass the Democrat-controlled Senate, and would be vetoed by President Obama. First, repeal will cost $230 billion over the next ten years, projects the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO), and a likely $1.3 trillion over the following decade. Second, there is no evidence that it is “job-killing.”</p>
