Under lock and key in H-157, with no CBO score.

If it's better for Americans, and nobody will lose coverage..why the secrecy?

What are they hiding?

Said they're going to put it to a vote before the CBO can review it.


What could go wrong?

Why did the Dems have to push it through Congress before reading it?

Perhaps they're still working on it and trying to make it serviceable for the American people, rather than forcing through a bunch of garbage that will cause a disastrous increase in insurance premiums?

Clearly that means it's all rainbows and unicorns for the average American.

They don't have one set in stone?

Going to be a lot of leaking aspects and gauging the reaction before anything concrete sees the light of day.

Why would you leak out bits and pieces for the media and left to start destroying?

Just roll it out when its complete.

Not sure what the big deal is.

Because they don't want liberals to embarrass them with the praise they will undoubtedly heap upon it. j/k. The truth is, that they don't want you to see the provisions that allow republicans to round up and shoot all of the gays and blacks and hand the sovereignty of the US over to Vladimir Putin.

Seriously though. If, after all of the non stop attacks of every word and action of this administration, you even need to ask this question - you truly are clueless.

I honestly have never understood why anyone cares about CBO scores anyway. And, I've said this for decades.

CBO scores based 100% on the assumptions of a given bill. CBO, being "non-partisan", can't recognize any of the assumptions as absurd and/or, it can't acknowledge that a given policy might have outside effects.

They basically must score a bill as if the bill will have zero effect upon the market it is designed to affect!

You'd think the fact that literally no CBO score has EVER jibed with what eventually happened would give people pause.

But nope.

Were you in a coma in the summer of 2009? Everyone who was paying attention had a good idea of what was in the ACA bill.

Big difference between hammering out every single detail and not letting anyone see a single thing about it.

But you know that.

Hmmm...I wonder where this "intellectual curiosity" was back in 2009?

Right up there with poll numbers as far as something being legit.
