It is clear that there is a significant danger that the current legislation would add substantially to future US deficits – and establish a precedent for even more expensive expansions of health care in the future. This would come on top of the currently projected fiscal deficits in both the near term and over the coming decade – and before America’s demographic shift substantially raises the cost of Social Security and Medicare.
显而易见，现有法案很有可能大大增加美国未来的财政赤字——并为未来医疗更为昂贵的扩张设定先例。这将会建立在目前预测的近期和未来几十年财政赤字的基础之上——而且在美国的人口变化大幅度提高社保和Medicare的成本之前。
