He ain't the only person in the CBO, and I doubt their estimate takes into account later changes in this law.#ShePersisted » 14 Mar 2017 7:53 am » wrote:Flashback to February 2015 when then House Budget Committee Chairman, now Secretary of Health And Human Services, Tom Price, was instrumental in choosing Keith Hall to run the CBO.
Fast forward to today, Price began trashing the CBO even before they released their numbers on the new healthcare bill.
GOP’s hand-picked economist will soon release an assessment of Trumpcare. They’re now trashing him.
OMB Head Mulvaney Says CBO Healthcare Budget Estimates Make No Sense
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Head Mark Mulvaney was on Morning Joe today and he discussed the healthcare proposal. One thing that Mulvaney is clear about is that the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) is way off in its estimates with the healthcare proposal.
Mulvaney said:
Let’s say your on Medicaid. The House bill passes tomorrow. The CBO claims that you will go off of Medicaid. Ok. It’s a free program but the CBO assumes that as soon as the mandate is gone that you will give up something free in exchange for nothing. That makes no sense.
