Also, I took the PO cohort, which if you recall was "people who are either uninsured due to cost or uninsurability or who have individual policies that are too costly or too limited" and compared the cost of that cohort under the status quo ante system against the cost of that cohort under PO.

I am scratching my head here...maybe you don't understand the concept of one variable at the time to understand the effect of THAT variable.

Plan A = Status quo with 32M people uninsured
Plan B = PO with additional 32M people on the insurance rolls

Plan B has two cost variables. The PO and 32M additional people on the rolls. If you still don't get it I give up.

Once the plan without it has been installed long enough to see what we have, if someone wants to propose adding a PO, then your comparison would be meaningful.

Now you're slipping in another distraction...
