Thread: Trump calls House health care bill 'mean'

Their push to extend coverage comes as the Office of the Actuary for the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services issued an analysis that predicted the House bill would cause nearly 13 million more Americans to become uninsured over the next decade. The forecast is bright news for the GOP following a more dire prediction three weeks ago from the Congressional Budget Office that 23 million more Americans would be uninsured as a result of the legislation.

The study estimates that the House bill would also reduce federal spending by $328 billion over 10 years, compared with $119 billion in the CBO analysis.

Based on the incredible ability of the Social Security Administration to fund benefits and services required through this agency without any payroll tax increase for Social Security Benefits in 27 years and no payroll increase for Medicare in 31 years, I place by bets on actuarial projections with SSA instead of CBO which has a very poor record on these types of combined economic and financial projections.
