CBO: An Analysis of Health Insurance Premiums Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

An Analysis of Health Insurance Premiums Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, November 30, 2009 – Letter to the Honorable Evan Bayh

  • “There is great interest in how proposals being considered by the Congress to change the health care and health insurance systems would affect premiums paid for health insurance in various markets. Consequently, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) have analyzed how those premiums might be affected by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, an amendment in the nature of a substitute to H.R. 3590, as proposed by Senator Reid on November 18, 2009. The analysis looks separately at the effects on premiums for coverage purchased individually, coverage purchased by small employers, and coverage provided by large employers.”
