In short, the CBO estimates the *gross* cost would be around $20B over a decade...but also finds $20B would be *saved* by delaying the implementation of a Medicare Part D rebate rule by a year, entirely cancelling out the cost.
A House amendment to extend the $35 cap to the *uninsured* as well would apparently bump the gross cost by another $9B/decade, however.
Fortunately there appears to be bipartisan support for that in the Senate. Stay tuned...
