Congressional Budget Office

No 62539, Reports from Congressional Budget Office

Abstract: Federal subsidies for health insurance total $33.6 trillion over the 2026–2036 period in CBO and JCT's projections. In 2026, federal subsidies for health insurance are projected to equal $2.4 trillion, or 7.4 percent of gross domestic product (GDP). Those subsidies grow by 65 percent, reaching an estimated $3.9 trillion, or 8.4 percent of GDP, in 2036. Subsidies for Medicare contribute most to that overall growth, increasing by $900 billion.
