Health care repeal's cost: $230 billion to deficit

[spanone]

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- It's one of the promises on which House Republicans campaigned: If elected, we will repeal health care reform.

One problem: Rolling back the law would probably increase federal budget deficits by a total of about $230 billion by 2021, according to a preliminary estimate released Thursday by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO).


The long-run outlook isn't any better. A repeal would increase federal deficits in the decade after 2019 by around 0.5% of GDP.

And that's a major problem for Republicans -- who also say they want to reduce the deficit and roll back federal spending to 2008 levels.

1. They don't really care about the deficit

all they care about is getting rid of anything created by a successful black man.

2. GOPers said the CBO was wrong. If they don't like the answer, they just say it's wrong.

They don't care. They never did and never will.
