“The Senate’s healthcare bill would cost $871 billion and cover 31 million more Americans, according to the Congressional Budget Office’s analysis of the bill.
The CBO said that the final legislation, unveiled Saturday by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, would cost $871 billion over the next 10 years and reduce the deficit by $132 billion over the same period. That’s more than the first Senate bill had cost.
Roughly 31 million Americans would receive new coverage under the legislation.”
