ABJ Sep 9 - Healthcare overhaul enacted last spring will not significantly
change national health spending over the next decade, compared with projections
before the legislation was passed, according to released government figures.
The report casts fresh doubt on Democratic argument that the healthcare law
would curb the increase of costs in the long-term.
Meanwhile, American insurance corporations have proposed rate increases ranging
from one per cent to nine per cent nationwide, attributed to new health law
coverage mandates.
