CBO Has No Credibility on Health Care Reform Prediction
By Alfredo Ortiz
June 02, 2017

In March 2015, the Congressional Budget Office claimed Obamacare exchanges would cover 24 million Americans by 2017. The actual number today: 12 million. It was only off by half. Oops.

This flawed coverage prediction is just one of numerous instances where the CBO’s Obamacare aim has been about as accurate as a drunk at a dartboard. Yet despite its record, Obamacare defenders and their media allies are treating as gospel the CBO’s prediction last week that 23 million people would lose coverage under the Republican’s American Health Care Act.

The CBO gets their math models, from the Globull Warming people.

BTW what was the explanation from the democrats to the public, for being off by 50% e.g. 24 million versus 12 million?
