Follow the Money.... Healthcare

A report issued Wednesday says that the most recent official projections indicate that the U.S. will spend $2.5 trillion less on health care from 2014 until 2019 than had been originally estimated at the time the Affordable Care Act [ACA] became law in 2010.

That represents a nearly 11 percent decrease in projected spending, according to the report issued by the Urban Institute.

Nearly half of the decrease in projections comes from lower spending estimates for Medicare and Medicaid.

While the exact impact of the ACA cannot be determined, it is clear that the nation has successfully expanded health coverage to Eleven Millions, and is now expected to spend considerably less than anticipated even before the law was enacted."
Kathy Hempstead, who directs coverage issues for the RWJ Foundation, said, "The impact of health reform on this slowdown, and whether it can be maintained, are very important issues."

This is a win/win/win program. More covered, Less utilized, and Surplus. Every turn you find Obama care beneficial. Opponents are crushed.

Just a thought.
