"A new study by the Lewin Group estimates that 28.6 million Americans will be eligible for a federal subsidy to purchase health insurance beginning in 2014 at a projected cost to tax payers in excess of $110 billion. This estimate is dramatically higher (578%) than the cost of these subsidies forecast by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) prior to the bill's enactment into law. If the new estimate is correct, it would mean that instead of lowering the deficit by $143 billion over ten years--a claim widely touted by proponents of the law-- the legislation would begin adding to the deficit as early as 2015, only one year after major provisions of the law go into effect."
