In a release yesterday, U.S. PIRG Health Care Advocate Larry McNeely called the health insurance lobby's claims that reform would cost too much "futile" and cited instead reports that refute their self-serving claims: The report is flawed because, McNeely noted, it explicitly excludes many provisions in the bill that would bring down the cost of care, like delivery reforms, affordability tax credits, and increased competition in insurance exchanges. A recent report from U.S. PIRG came to a conclusion that stands in stark opposition to the health insurance industry-funded document. The Three Trillion Dollar Question identified $2.8 trillion in potential economic savings from robust health reform. In addition, the Commonwealth Fund and the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (PDF) have concluded separately that health reform could generate real reductions in national health spending.
