“I love the folks at the CBO, they work really hard, they do, but sometimes we ask them to do stuff they’re not capable of doing, and estimating the impact of a bill of this size probably isn’t the - isn’t the best use of their time,” 


OK, Mick.  Who do you suggest might be better qualified?  The insurance companies?

Obamacare was a cruddy compromise, but the best they could do with all the partisan wrangling.  

As lousy as it was, 20M people who had no insurance got it.   

According to the article, Standard and Poor are estimating as many as 10M people will lose it under the new plan -- so I guess the next announcement will be that they, too, are incapable of the job and it isn't a good use of their time.
