Washington, Nov 4 - House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) issued the following statement after the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) confirmed in a letter tonight that the Republican health care plan will lower health care premiums by up to 10 percent and reduce the deficit by $68 billion over 10 years without imposing tax increases on families and small businesses

So now it turns out that Democrats indeed seem to be the party of "nothing" (by their recent admission that they have no plan), while Republicans take their time to discuss economics rather then play upon emotions..

This is an interesting development. I suppose I need to take the time to read the document, which I admit that up until now, seemed to me to be nothing more than an attempt to look relevant in the healthcare debate. Now that the CBO is talking economics that I can certainly support, I need to read up on the details of the plan.

I wouldn't go that far. But I'd consider Pelosi to be a f-up.

Will the media report it?

Who isn't protected? What aren't they being protected from?

Up to 10%.
0% savings fits that criteria.

So now you are disputing the CBO data.. Fantastic, lets see your economic analysis of the plan, I'd like to see your results..

Kind of like "created jobs" turned into "saved or created jobs" with libs? Or like global warming turned into climate change? Playing word games is a leftist game. The CBO is the one reporting that number.
