CBO revises reform cost estimates

  • Congressional approval of additional spending could push final costs to exceed $1 trillion; previous estimates put the cost at $938 billion over 10 years.
  • Health care reform could cost $115 billion more in health care spending over the next 10 years.
  • Of the additional $115 billion, between $10 billion and $20 billion will go toward administrative costs.
  • Community health centers will receive $34 billion; $39 billion will go toward Indian health care.
