Cost and Coverage Impacts of the President’s Health Care Reform Proposal and a Congressional Tax Credit Proposal. 10-Year Estimates

We projected the cost of the two proposals over the 10-year period, 2009 through 2018.  Note that when projecting program enrollment and costs, we assume a 40 percent phase-in for 2009 and an 80 percent phase in for 2010, with the program reaching ultimate enrollment beginning in 2011.  Therefore, the 2009 impact estimates in our projections dif

Cost and Coverage Impacts of the President’s Health Care Reform Proposal and a Congressional Tax Credit Proposal. Changes in Private Insurance Coverage
