Selected CBO Publications Related to Health Care Legislation, 2009–2010, December 22, 2010.

  • “In March 2010, the Congress passed and the President signed into law legislation that makes major changes to the U.S. health care and health insurance systems. That legislation came in two parts: the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. Among other things, those laws will establish a mandate for most legal residents of the United States to obtain health insurance; create insurance exchanges through which certain individuals and families will receive federal subsidies; significantly expand eligibility for Medicaid; reduce the growth of Medicare’s payment rates for most services; impose an excise tax on insurance plans with relatively high premiums; impose certain taxes on individuals and families with relatively high incomes; and make various other changes to the federal tax code, Medicare, Medicaid, and other programs. (In addition, the Reconciliation Act substantially alters federal programs governing loans and grants for postsecondary education.)”
