New data from the Congressional Budget Office shows that in 2016, government spending on Obamacare will increase markedly as more and more people submit applications on the affordable health insurance program.

In this case, as reported, the original purpose of Barack Obama, who initiated the bill, was to save money in the field of health care.

According to the CBO, spending in 2016 will reach about $110 billion, and for the entire next decade - about $1,34 trillion. This is 136 billion more than predicted in 2015.

This is partly due to the fact that the demand for an expanded Medicaid program has exceeded all expectations. In addition, according to the CBO, by the end of this year, the number of insured US citizens will increase to 22 million people.

The cost of services within Obamacare is also reported to increase. For already registered users, prices for premium insurance packages will jump by about 6% annually over the next decade.

As ForumDaily reported earlier, almost 2016 of millions of US citizens went to medical insurance for 13 year, which is by more than last year's 4 million.

In 2016, penalties for non-compliance with the law on affordable health care will more than double from $ 285 to $ 695.
