Oh because the CBO said so. Chesus quit listening to buck.
This is a copy and paste, I already put it in my own more simple terms above.
One of the most outrageous claims by proponents of ObamaCare is that it will reduce the deficit. Harvard economics professor Greg Mankiw wrote on his blog, “I have a plan to reduce the budget deficit. The essence of the plan is the federal government writing me a check for $1 billion. The plan will be financed by $3 billion of tax increases. According to my back-of-the-envelope calculations, giving me that $1 billion will reduce the budget deficit by $2 billion.” This is how ObamaCare works. Health care entitlement spending increases, but taxes increase even more.The PPACA can only pretend to reduce the deficit because it counts only six years of spending while counting ten years of new taxes. Overall, the CBO originally estimated that PPACA would result in $900 billion in new spending in the next decade. CBO can’t provide an official estimate beyond that ten-year window, but the trend suggests spending will continue on an upward trajectory. Already, CBO has revised its original score upwards multiple times (such as adding $115 billion for administrative costs). Whitehouse.gov says the law will cost approximately $100 billion each year for the next ten years. Yet that’s almost certainly an understatement. Former CBO Director Douglas Holtz-Eakin released his own analysis, finding that the law will cost $1.072 trillion in subsidies during the first ten years and another $2.85 trillion in the decade after that. That’s a total of nearly $4 trillion in new spending in the next 20 years.
