How much do you want to bet that if Republicans control the government democrats and the formerly MSM shout from the rooftops about how wrong Republicans are to raise medicare prices like that? One problem with CBO scoring is that they will work with whatever assumptions are built into the bill. Obviously scoring a tax increase as a revenue generator and a decrease as a revenue loser is wrong as well. So many problems, so little time. "Looks like both sides are throwing Grandma off the cliff." After they get one last vote from her. Still, more than doubling the medicare premium in one year will have a huge deleterious impact on many seniors of modest means. Why do the democrats who claim to be helping them want to stick it to seniors so badly?
