At this point it is simply a rumor, but The Wall Street Journal reports that : “Senate Democrats’ health-care legislation has been estimated to cost $849 billion and to reduce the federal budget deficit by $127 billion over 10 years.”
The figures are supposed to be from The Congressional Budget Office, but are not posted on its website. WSJ sources also say that the number of uninsured people in the US will drop by 31 million under the Senate plan and that 94% of Americans would have health insurance coverage.
