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.
