Along with the Joint Committee on Taxation, the Congressional Budget released a report detailing the consequences of government officials implementing a policy that would terminate the ACA's cost-sharing reductions.
Here are six findings from the report:
1. The federal deficit would jump by $194 billion between 2017 and 2026.
2. In 2018, the federal deficit would rise by $6 billion.
3. In 2012, the deficit would increase by $21 billion.
4. The policy would put the number of uninsured at about 1 million higher than under CBO's March 2016 baseline in 2018.
5. However, the number of uninsured would fall to 1 million lower in every year starting 2020.
6. The average premiums for the second-lowest-cost silver plan for single policyholders' ACA plans would be nearly 20 percent higher in 2018 than CBO's March 2016 baseline.
