A U.S. Senate panel proposal to expand healthcare coverage would increase the federal deficit by about $1 trillion over 10 years and still leave millions without insurance, a congressional analysis said on Monday.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) said its calculations were preliminary and stressed that the Democratic-sponsored legislation was still being drafted.
The "trillion dollar" legislation is the Kennedy-Dodd bill.
But this morning, Fox News' Stuart Varney explained that once the cost of all of the previously uninsured is figured into the estimates, he said the deficit $3 billion.
Still more change I can't believe in.
