"More worrisome still, over the next 75 years the CBO’s latest long-term spending projections show even with ACA (which, remember, was supposed to “bend the cost curve”), the federal government will increase in size by 48 percent relative to the economy. Fully 100 percent of that increase can be attributed to growth in federally funded healthcare entitlements, i.e., Medicare, Medicaid and exchange subsidies.[1] There are very real and legitimate questions about the ability of the federal government to finance these entitlements over the long term."
