None of the proposals being pushed around in congress now, that have any serious chance of getting passed, will lower the budgetary cost.

As for lowering total cost, with the additional government expensive lowering private expenditures; well its possible, but I doubt it will happen at least not without some negative results.

Note I'm using perhaps the easiest standard of lowering costs. Lowering them to below what they otherwise would have risen to. If your talking about actual cuts, meaning spending less than the government (or the country as a whole) spends now, well that's just not going to happen.
