Peter Orszag, the Director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, reiterated the Obama administration's claim Thursday that the health care refrom law will ultimately lower the U.S. deficit.

"The bill, according to the official scoring, leads not only to a deficit reduction over the first decade, but a growing deficit reduction into the second decade,” explained Orszag Thursday during remarks before The Economic Club in Washington, D.C.

Orszag noted that the recently signed health care legislation embodies every serious idea that’s been thus proposed regarding economic reform.
