“Amid wrangling over raising the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling, Obama has rebuffed efforts to scale back his health care overhaul, taking a hard line that has left large potential savings untapped, some say.
Analysts argue that any serious plan to bring down the deficit must address mounting health care costs, something lacking in both GOP and Democratic proposals.
“Despite his assurances, Obamacare doesn’t bend [downward] the cost curve at all,” said Kathryn Nix, a health care policy analyst at the conservative Heritage
Foundation. “It’s going to blow up costs. So, no, we can’t take this off the table in the debt debate.”
