Does the actuary estimate that health reform will cost more than CBO estimates?

No. On an apples-to-apples basis, the estimates by the CMS actuary and CBO are almost identical. The estimated gross cost of expanding health coverage is $938 billion over the 2010-2019 period according to CBO and $948 billion according to the actuary — a difference of only 1 percent.

The net savings in Medicare and Medicaid total $455 billion according to CBO and about $457 billion according to the actuary. More.
