So the number of people that elect not to be insured will be 22 million as a result of the elimination of the mandate?  This from the same group that told us just last year that Obamacare individual enrollees for 2017 would 15 million.  But wait, only 10 million signed up so they were only off by a third.  But wait, its even worse.  When they originally scored Obamacare they projected 26 million would enrolled by 2017 so they were only off by 62%.  I think it is safe to say that CBO does not have any idea what they are doing.

I think it is time to get rid of the supposedly non-partisan CBO.  They make the prognosticators of global warming look downright accurate and weathermen approaching the level of Nostrodamus.  If I were consistently this wroing in my business.....well, I would not be in business.  And there is no such thing as non-partisan.  I suspect if you looked at the employees of CBO the vast majority of them are registered Democrats and gave money to Hillary.  

But more to the point, the vast majority of people that would be without health insurance under either the Senate or House bills would be doing so voluntarily!!!  Yes, imagine that, the government allowing its citizens to make a rational, logical decision that they are better off without paying premiums on a policy with a $10K deductible and paying for their medical care out of pocket (heck, with htose deductibles that's what they are doing anyway).  This is especially the case for younger, healthier Americans.  It would be nice if they could get some catastrophic insurance for a reasonable premium, but nope....under Obamacare they are being to asked to pay for everyone else's health care, including covering a bunch of things they will never need.

And Democrats are once again lying about it saying these people will "lose" their coverage and hundreds of thousands to millions will die!!!!!!  Oh the humanity........oh the abject lies........  And I think we understand why they are in the electoral wilderness.
