CBO-An Update to the Budget and Economic Outlook: 2017 to 2027
June 29, 2017--Under current law, deficits in CBO's baseline projections continue to climb over the next decade, driving up federal debt. Economic growth remains modest, at about 2.0 percent through 2018 and then 1.9 percent later in the period.
CBO projects that over the next decade, if current laws remained generally unchanged, budget deficits would eventually follow an upward trajectory in relation to the nation's economic output, and federal debt would rise.
Economic growth is projected to remain modest, averaging slightly above 2.0 percent through 2018 and averaging somewhat below that rate for the rest of the period through 2027.

CBO-H.R. 1628, Better Care Reconciliation Act of 2017
June 26, 2017--CBO and the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimate that enacting the legislation-which would repeal or modify many provisions of the Affordable Care Act-would reduce federal deficits by $321 billion over the coming decade.
CBO and JCT estimate that in 2018, 15 million more people would be uninsured under the legislation than under current law. After additional changes to subsidies for insurance purchased in the nongroup market and to the Medicaid program took effect, the increase in the number of uninsured people would rise to 19 million in 2020 and then to 22 million in 2026.
