As America is in a media-induced hysteria about the Congressional Budget Office’s forecast that millions will lose health insurance under President Donald Trump’s new health-care plan, let us not forget that this is the same CBO that projected that millions more people would sign up for the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, than actually signed up.
So in the midst of the trauma, drama and mishap that the latest CBO projections have created, please remember that it missed its last projection by many millions. And that there is no reason to believe the latest projection is any more accurate or credible.
