Even Liberals Question Health Care’s Deficit Savings
In case you hadn’t seen it, you may be interested in commentary by the Washington Post’s Ruth Marcus about the CBO score claiming that repealing the health care law will increase the deficit. Marcus – who supports the law, and opposes the repeal measure – notes the major caveats and uncertainties involved in the scoring process, observing that “the costs of the law are far more certain than the savings. Anyone who’s spent any time in Washington knows better than to assume that health care reform will end up as a money saver.”
