September 14, 2009Health Care Bill: Coverage Gain, Fiscal Pain
NEW YORK (September 9, 2009)–A mixed picture emerges from a new study commissioned by the Peter G. Peterson Foundation on America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009 (H.R. 3200). The study, conducted by The Lewin Group, provides a critical look at longer-term cost implications of a major comprehensive health care reform proposal, estimating the impacts through the year 2029, making it the first analysis of health care reform costs beyond 2019. The study examines the House legislation as amended by the Energy and Commerce Committee. The Foundation plans to commission similar analyses of other major reform proposals, including the one from the Senate Finance committee, as legislation is introduced.
