  • Additional Information on the Budgetary Effects of Proposals to Establish the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports (CLASS) Program

    November 25, 2009

    Today CBO released a letter providing additional information on the budgetary effects of proposals to establish the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports (CLASS) Program, a new federal program for long-term care insurance. H.R. 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act, as passed by the House of Representatives, and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act proposed by Senator Reid contain similar proposals that would establish a voluntary program for such insurance.

  • Revised Estimate for H.R. 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act

    November 20, 2009

    CBO has just released a revised estimate of the net budgetary impact of H.R. 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act, the health care reform bill that was passed by the House of Representatives on November 7. The revised estimate corrects a mistake that CBO made in its earlier assessment of a provision that would establish the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports (CLASS) program, a federal insurance program for long-term care.

  • Changes in Medicare's Payments to Physicians

    November 19, 2009

    CBO just released a letter responding to questions from Congressman Ryan about H.R. 3961, the Medicare Physicians Payment Reform Act of 2009, which is scheduled to be considered by the House of Representatives today. Congressman Ryan inquired about the total budgetary impact of enacting that bill, which would increase the rates Medicare pays to physicians, along with H.R. 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act, the broad health care reform bill passed by the House of Representatives a few weeks ago.

  • Updated Estimate for Health Care Legislation Pending in the House

    November 6, 2009

    Earlier today, I posted a blog about the cost estimate for the health care legislation pending in the House. I explained how the repeal of certain tax rules in H.R. 3962, the health care bill, would now generate less revenue because the rules would only be in effect for two years during the 2010-2019 period as a result of the unemployment legislation that was signed into law today. The original estimate for the impact of that repeal under H.R. 3962, about $26 billion over the 10-year period, will now be reduced to about $6 billion.
