Earlier this week, the Congressional Budget Office released its preliminary cost estimate for the health plan put forward by Senator Max Baucus (D-MT). The plan would cost $829 billion over ten years but still reduce the deficit by $81 billion.
The White House and liberals in Congress say the report confirms President Obama’s promise that big-government reforms “will help bring our deficits under control in the long term.” The leftist media jumped on board, heralding the CBO’s numbers as a “green light” for Obamacare.
