Estimating the Costs of Proposals Affecting Health Insurance Coverage
Presentation
Presentation by Sarah Masi, an analyst in CBO’s Budget Analysis Division, at a Congressional Research Service seminar on CBO’s methods for developing cost estimates.
This presentation explains the process followed by CBO and the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) when estimating the costs of legislative proposals affecting health insurance coverage. An example is the agencies’ estimate of how repealing the individual mandate to have health insurance would affect federal deficits.
