A skeptical Jeff Sessions, R., Ala., requested that a report be conducted because he did not believe President Obama when he professed, “I will not sign it if it adds one dime to the deficit now or in the future.” The report seeks to extrapolate the costs of the Affordable Care Act beyond the typical 10-year window used by the GAO.
