The CBO Gets It Very Wrong on ObamaCare
Failure: ObamaCare fans are cheering the latest Congressional Budget Office report, which appears to show that it will cost less and cover more people than expected. But that's true only if you ignore reality.We don't always agree with the CBO, but we have long respected it as a credible source of
You need to ask yourself..."When legislation is being considered by Congress, do I want an estimate of how it will impact our society....BEFORE it gets voted on by the politicians?" If the answer is "No", then the CBO scoring is irrelevant. However, if you want a reasonable, objective, and unbiased estimation of how it will impact our society, while understanding that no estimation will ever be perfect, then the CBO scoring becomes very relevant.
Personally, I understand that the CBO can't perfectly predict the future. I can't perfectly predict how much money I'll earn next year, nor how much I'll pay in taxes. You can't perfectly predict how many miles you'll drive next year, nor how many gallons of fuel you'll use. However, we can make good, reasonable estimates that help us plan accordingly. Similarly, the CBO can make reasonable assumptions (namely, that politicians won't immediately begin tinkering with it or trying to blow it up), and then score the legislation as reasonably accurate as possible. So, most of the inaccuracy between the CBO's initial scoring of the ACA can be laid at the feet of the politicians, not the CBO.
The Left likes to hold up Some of the European Health Care Systems as an example, but they aerew flawed as well. We need to find something that works with our economy and the way we live,
