They generally are not very close. For instance they stamped the Senate ObamaCare at $829 Billion despite the fact it was obviously closer to $2 Trillion. The bill was written to make the deception of the lower number possible. It contained provisions calling for future Congresses to make cuts that had remote chances of being implemented.

I'm shocked they said this. Makes you wonder about other stuff in their analysis. I don't see the flaw in their analysis. The counter is all about the cost of malpractice. The CBO estimate addressed the savings stemming from the proposed change, which in no way would eliminate that cost. You will still have malpractice, malpractice insurance, and payouts. Before they suggest that CBO is screwing with the numbers, they need to present a counter analysis that's on point.
