>> The CBO dropped its original forecast of ObamaCare reducing deficits: The point those on the Left really missed is this: The original estimate had 32 million newly "covered" persons -- practically all subsidized (1/2 medicaid -- 100% subsidized, and 1/2 exchanges, 90% of whom receive SOME subsidy) -- has now dropped by 25% to 24 Million. So, 1/4 fewer people are covered by the program, so cost reduction of the coverage makes sense. They don't talk about this "fine point". The problem, of course, is they don't mention what that does to "uncompensated care" ... All one big fat propaganda lie. That's all they've got to keep the Als of the world supporting the program.

Since then, there have been so many changes to the law coming from all sides including the White House (so you can't blame this one on those oh-so-evil Republicans) that the original projections cannot be relied upon. .....the ONLY meaningful indication of what is happening for me has been the fact that the 23 non profit govt set up exchanges funded to the tune of $3B have already needed an additional $300M to keep going after only about a year of operation.....in addition, rates at those exchanges have gone up significantly. How does that reconcile with falling rates?......What does that foretell for the future? .
