Goofy, and you are goofy on this one.  The CBO has taken into account the millions of people that are now being forced to buy insurance at the point of a gun that don't want it.  Anyone that wants insurance under Obamacare-lite can and will buy it and it will be less expensive to boot.  Those that don't won't be forced by govt to buy health insurance.  And even more to the point, for at least the first three years the so-called people losing their insurance is comprised almost entirely of people that were projected to be forced to sign up that have no desire to have health insurance and will simply decline to decline to sign up.  In years four and beyond the changes to Medicaid eligibility criteria will mean that some people will no longer be eligible and will decline to buy private insurance.

Only the idiotic government can call that a cut.  And of course we need to be reminded that this is the very same CBO that annually wildly overestimated the number of enrollees.  So they overstate projected increases and likely overstate the number that will so-called "lose" their health insurance.  And of course they do not take into account how many people will get access to health insurance if it no longer is so punishing to have full time employees.  I believe many small companies will be more willing to have one full time person with access to benefits versus 3 part timers.

Critical thinking Goofy.......give it a try some time.
