A key report due Monday could say up to 22 million more people will be without health insurance if a Senate bill is passed.

The Congressional Budget Office will estimate 15 million to 22 million people over a decade will be without health insurance if the Senate bill passes, according to an article in Politico. The so-called “score” from the CBO is due on Monday. The score may make it difficult to muster enough Republicans to get the bill through the upper chamber.

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway has a solution for those 22 million who could lose coverage — get a job that provides health insurance, according to a report on CNBC. That may not be so easy — research shows that nearly 8 in 10 adult Medicaid recipients live in working families. They turn to Medicaid because their job doesn’t provide such insurance.

CBO - terrible at predictions (predicted well over 20 million Obamacare enrolled by 2016, not even half of that was enrolled in reality, inflated billions in profits by insurers which amounted to billions in losses in reality, dramatically understated cost to federal government, which turned out significantly higher -- overall, mediocre)

 

CBO score for current Senate bill = prediction over a span of 10 years

Article = conjecture about a prediction over a span of 10 years from the CBO that virtually always gets such predictions dramatically wrong

 

So what's the hype?
