Here is one Bloomberg video that looks at Cain's 9-9-9 plan and Romney claims about the ACA:
bloomberg.com

Cain's rebuttal to the Bloomberg analysis: "The problem with that analysis is that it is incorrect... because they start with assumptions that we don't make."

That, at least, is all the rebuttal they showed.

Romney's statement: "The problem with Obamacare is it spends over a trillion dollars and it raises taxes."

Bloomberg cited the CBO analysis that says that the ACA saves $143b over 10 years. But of course the rebuttal to that by the professionals is, "I don't believe it, it will cost more than they say, these govt plans always cost more." But taking the Bush prescription drug plan as an example, it has actually cost less than originally projected. Cf washingtontimes.com

But, really now, who cares about facts? Beliefs have become facts. Assumptions have become facts. Mere assertions have become facts. That is what Professionals do, that is how they act.
