YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFacts are frustrating when you’re a Republican. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, discuss. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"The Congressional Budget Office has not been kind to the Republican health care bill, predicting that the legislation will leave 23 million more Americans uninsured within a decade while sending insurance premiums skyrocketing for older Americans. This has left Republicans in the awkward position of trying to explain away or divert attention from what are obviously some atrocious numbers.
They've tested a few different angles. House Speaker Paul Ryan, for instance, has decided to accentuate the positive, pointing out that the CBO's forecast predicts lower insurance premiums and lower deficits (never mind that prices drop because health plans will cover fewer services, and the government's savings come from gutting Medicaid). New Jersey Rep. Tom MacArthur, whose eponymous amendment smoothed the American Health Care Act's passage through the House, took another tack, suggesting the CBO's estimates should be taken with a grain of salt like any forecast. "I respect the CBO's role but just because a group of auditors down the block has created a model with ifs, ands, or maybes, that doesn't make it a gospel," he said. "That is somebody's opinion at CBO.””*
