Any bill that counts 10 years of taxes but only six years of spending as a way to bring down the deficit is dishonest.

The unsigned () partisan opinion column doesnt quite have it right.

Most of the spending costs dont begin until the fourth year when the Exchanges would kick-in to cover those 30+ milliion currently w/o insurance. It also ignores spending cuts, like the $150 billion cut to MA providers.

IMO, the only questionable data in the CBO analysis of the long-term budgetary impact is the anticipated savings resulting from greater efficiencies. The tax and spending data is pretty straight forward and unambiguous.
