>> Those estimates address only the insurance coverage provisions of the ACA, which do not generate all of the act’s budgetary effects. Many other provisions, on net, are expected to reduce budget deficits. Considering all of the provisions—including the coverage provisions— CBO and JCT estimated in July 2012 (their most recent comprehensive estimate) that the ACA’s overall effect would be to reduce federal deficits.

Do you know why CBO no longer makes forecasts on these other items?

Because the law's implementation is so screwed up Elmendorf has said, essentially, "We simply cannot figure this out. We don't know what the numbers are, and we have no way of knowing. So, we're not even going to try anymore."

It is NOT okay to then take numbers from before all the changes were made to the law and say, "These are it." The ONLY thing we know is that they have no idea what the numbers are, and cannot make any projection of them.
