AC360°

The Congressional Budget Office released its analysis of an alternative health care reform bill submitted by House Republicans today. The Democrats released their proposal last week.

The CBO projects the effect the proposals will have on the budget over the next 10 years. According to the new review today, the Republicans proposal would reduce deficits "by $68 billion over the 2010-2019 period" while the Democrats proposal would result in a reduction of "$104 billion over the 2010-2019 period."

The CBO also projects that the Republican bill will leave approximately 52 million non-elderly residents uninsured by 2019. The plan proposed by the Democrats would leave about 18 million non-elderly residents uninsured.
