Sen. Evan Bayh, one of the moderate Democrats whose health care vote is in question, said the Congressional Budget Office analysis he requested “alleviates a major concern.”
Bayh (D-IN), said in a statement:
“My primary focus has been making health insurance better and more affordable for average Americans. This report alleviates a major concern that has been raised–that insurance costs will go up across the board as a result of this legislation.
“This study indicates that for most Americans, the bill will have a modestly positive impact on their premium costs. For the remainder, more will see their costs go down than up. Hopefully, we can continue to focus the Senate debate on additional ways to make health insurance even more affordable for all Americans.”
