In the case of PartD they underestimated the cost.

Exactly. Underestimated by 40%/year in the first few years. YOU THINK THAT'S SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF? It totally speaks to the inability of CBO to get even in the ballpart, EVEN in the first few years, let alone 10-20 years hence.

Part D came in under budget because it was a competently planned program. CBO could not even get THAT close.

(This legislation, however, destroyed that by closing the donut hole, which was one of the two features that made it so successful.)
