Think of it more as "How many will die?". The government will literally spend money to kill its citizens. Thats not just dumb, it is evil.

The estimate could have been handed down on a tablet from God to these people and I would not believe it.

Its ludicrous to think that someone estimating something at 33 billion dollars could possibly be accurate.

I'm sure I could make up an estimate of 50 billion or 10 billion or a 100 trillion gazillion.

They all would be as meaningless as the one you reference.

We get it. You are willing to ignore facts because big numbers and complex analysis scares you.

Estimates are not facts lol.

People make them up out of whole cloth all the time.

For any given case you can make an estimate that proves any point you want. All you have to do is tailor your assumptions accordingly.

All estimates like this are agenda driven........surprised you didn't know that. Maybe you're just good at complex things and simple things throw you off.

With which part of the analysis or methodology did you disagree? What assumptions did the Urban Institute donyou think we’re incorrect and why?

Nice try Dems-but if you remember, efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare FAILED. Obamacare is STILL IN EFFECT. And is still a disaster. Democrats own this-be proud of your baby kids. Like everything else out of the Obama administration this is one ugly, mean little sucker. You own this. Now...just how many Republicans voted for that mess again?

Perhaps now, even Democrats are ready to admit that this disaster needs to go away and be replaced with a viable health care plan.

The deflection gig is boring. Go start another thread if you want to rant off topic. We are talking about the fiscal effects of Trump’s health care policies.
