Reason’s Peter Suderman has a good write-up
of a new study from Harvard health care economistss that finds that
Medicaid enrollment under Obamacare may be far higher than the
official projections. As a result, the amount of federal spending
on Medicaid through Obamacare could be twice as much as
anticipated.
Suderman points out that, officially, Obamacare was projected to
run up about $950 billion in new spending during its
first decade. Based on this new study, the Medicaid expansion
provision of the law alone could cost more than
that.

Of Course, the projection came from liars.
