WASHINGTON — A bipartisan plan for universal health care coverage would pay for itself and eventually could create modest budget surpluses, according to a congressional report released Thursday.
The report by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office and Joint Committee on Taxation said the health care plan could be fully operational by 2012 and become “budget-neutral” by 2014. That means the plan would bring in as much revenue as it costs to implement.
