It might also be worth mentioning the further cherry picking of the numbers:
Gross costs (of just the insurance provisions) have gone up from 940 billion (10 years from 2010) to 1,760 billion (10 years from 2012) but Net costs (of just the insurance provisions) have gone up from 790 billion to 1,250 billion. So even while the gross costs in the forecast have gone up by 820 billion, the net has only gone up by 460 billion. (I rounded to the nearest 10 billion as did Republicans, presumably for easier math). That's some serious cherry picking by Republicans. If people are interested in the original CBO estimate from 2010 (where I got the above numbers): http://cbo.gov/sites/default/files/cbofiles/attachments/03-13-Coverage%20Estimates.pdf Cheers, Judah ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:348813 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
