>> Semantics. They call the thing a report. "Reporting" as a verb suggests they know some outcome. They don't, and they're consistently wrong about everything and as was pointed out in the previous link it is likely they are off by another 100% or worse. Because their projections are agreed-upon-procedures that are set out by idiots in Congress to begin with and have no significant accounting meaning at all. I picked Texas, zipcode 77801(Bryan), family of 3 with 2 adults, one 27 and one 30, nonsmokers, 1 kid.With an income of $30k, they are looking at around $1250 a year for health insurance. At $31k, it gets boosted to $1364, or $114 more a year. Take out taxes and they should still net around $750 a year. Would they pass on the $750 or so a year? I don't think so. Ok, what about someone single, minimum wage. At $15k a year income, they would pay $300 per year. At $15.5k they would pay $482. Now that might be discouraging. But still result in measurably more money. Okay, so like me, you think the Democrats' claims are bullshit, which leaves us back at 2.5M FTEs lost.
