Story highlights The Trump-backed plan would increase the deficit by $1.4 trillion over 10 yearsTrump will meet with Senate Republicans on Capitol Hill on Tuesday to discuss the planWashington (CNN) The Senate GOP's tax plan would increase the deficit by $1.4 trillion over the next 10 years, the Congressional Budget Office estimates. The estimate summary found that enacting the White House-backed Tax Cuts and Jobs Act would lead to an on-budget deficit increase of about $1.44 trillion. The CBO also estimates that with the removal of Obamacare's individual mandate that is included in the bill, which taxes individuals who opt out of purchasing insurance, "nongroup insurance markets would continue to be stable in almost all areas of the country" over the next 10 years. However, "average premiums in the nongroup market would increase by about 10% in most years of the decade ... relative to the CBO's baseline projected. In other words, premiums in both 2019 and 2027 would be about 10% higher than is projected in the baseline."
