It turns out President Obama was right when he said his health care law wouldn't add one dime to the federal deficit.1 Figures from the Government Accountability Office suggest that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will in fact add 62 trillion dimes over the next 75 years.2 (To give that $6.2 trillion some perspective, our national debt is currently $16.7 trillion.) Sometimes called the congressional watchdog, the GAO is the official auditor for the U.S. Congress. GAO is the agency that designated Medicare and Medicaid as high-risk programs because they are particularly vulnerable to fraud, waste, abuse, and improper payments. And it is likewise the agency that ultimately will be tasked with identifying all the bureaucratic snafus associated with Obamacare as it continues to roll out, affecting more and more Americans.

75 year estimates are pretty worthless. The government has a real difficult time being accurate in the next 5 years let alone 75.

Wholeheartedly agree. Going out 75 years is disingenuous in the extreme, and indicts the source of this worthless claim more than it does Obama.

However, there is no doubt ObamaCare has already begun to add to the federal deficit, and always will.

It will also bankrupt the states.

Wasn't that one of the initial intentions? It seems to me the goal was to bring the US to its knees. What our greatest enemies on the outside could not do to us in 100 years our own elected officials have done in a few short years.
