Merc..in a post earlier today, you discount the CBO because you dont like the numbers.

Now you find a statement from the CBO that you do like...even if it is several weeks old and addressing the original "mark" and does not apply to the final Senate Finance bill that was crafted over the last week (that added protections to Medicare patients in the final version).

You cant have it both ways, Merc.

No, I did not say I did not "like" the numbers. I stated that the calculations were going to be faulty and they did not take in to account many unintended consequences such as employers accepting the penalty over paying for insurance. Among other things.

None of that changes the planned cuts in Medicare Advantage.
