Al,
I think it's more important to focus on the trends than to dwell on the precision or lack thereof of the people selling it to the country.
The trend of health care costs still points up and to the right.

The CBO has to make assumptions that any reasonable person knows cannot be sustained. The author cites "structural changes" in how health care is delivered without naming one example.

Well I can already name an example, and it's the sharp reduction in Medicare payments to doctors thanks to ObamaCare. A lot of doctors now won't see Medicare patients as a result, and some are resorting to seeing multiple patients at a time.

This is not likely to be sustainable, as you can see many politicians seeking to reverse that provision of ObamaCare. Yet the defenders of ObamaCare, such as the author of that puff-piece article in Forbes, are already counting their chickens before they've hatched.
