Heritage — Congress’s Health Care Bills Would Increase Spending and Federal Budget Deficits
Both the House health care reform bill (H.R. 3200) and the bill authored by Senator Baucus would increase government spending by hundreds of billions of dollars over the next decade, even after assuming massive “savings” from cutting waste and inefficiency in Medicare and Medicaid. If lawmakers can easily cut nearly $1 trillion in waste from Medicare and Medicaid over the next 20 years, they should do so to reduce Medicare’s $36 trillion unfunded obligation, not to fund massive new health care benefits.
