Congress Budget Office also projects a discharge of US $ 3.4 trillion in the deficit in a decade
The United States (Congress Budget Office) projects that signed by the President (Republican Party) may increase the federal deficit by US $ 3.4 trillion and leave 10.9 million people without health insurance in the next decade. This is the report (PDF – 395 KB).
The document details the impacts of legislation promulgated on July 4, 2025, known as “One Big Beautiful Bill”. According to the CBO, although the package saves more than $ 1 trillion in health, especially in the program, total costs will overcome these economies.
The main cause of the increase in the deficit is the extent of tax cuts in 2017. The CBO indicates that policies approved by the Senate Finance Committee will reduce federal revenue by US $ 4.5 trillion.
The estimate of 10.9 million Americans who will lose health insurance represents a reduction in relation to the previous projection of 11.8 million.
Among the reasons for this reduction is the exclusion, in the final version of the project, from a policy that would remove coverage of 1.4 million unocucers.
