In fact, there is a strong risk that this legislation would ultimately add to the fiscal deficit. Increasing the number of insured by 35 million and broadening protection for some who are now insured implies increased demand for health care, which could raise the cost of care paid for by the government as well as by private health-care buyers.
事实上，这项法案很可能最终会增加财政赤字。增加3500万被保险人并扩大某些现有被保险人的保障范围意味着增大对医疗服务的需求，这可能增加政府和私人医疗服务购买者为医疗服务所支付的费用。
