Report on Health Bill Finds Deficit Reduction, Democrat SaysBy REUTERS
Published: March 18, 2010


WASHINGTON, March 18 (Reuters) - U.S. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said on Thursday that proposed final healthcare legislation would cut the U.S. deficit by more than $100 billion over the first 10 years.

Hoyer told reporters that the Congressional Budget Office said the sweeping healthcare overhaul would cut the deficit by more than $1 trillion over the subsequent decade. The CBO is expected to release its official estimate of the cost of the Democratic-written legislation on Thursday.

Hoyer said momentum was growing for the legislation despite solid Republican opposition and that the U.S. House of Representatives was on track to vote on the bill on Sunday.
