Well, this comment from the WH today
""If you're looking to the CBO for accuracy, you're looking in the wrong place," White House spokesman Sean Spicer told reporters."
Not much they don't attack.....

ALL government "numbers" are suspect. They lie about just about everything.

Many seniors could face a significant increase in health care premiums, since insurance companies will be allowed to charge seniors five times as much as for younger people for a comparable plan. Under the current Affordable Care Act (ACA), insurers are limited to charging three times as much. The tax credits proposed in the AHCA, which would be dispensed mainly on the basis of age and income, would be smaller for older Americans compared with under the ACA, making insurance even more expensive for them.
"Taken together, premiums for older adults could increase by as much as $3,600 for a 55-year-old earning $25,000 a year, $7,000 for a 64-year-old earning $25,000 a year and up to $8,400 for a 64-year-old earning $15,000 a year," AARP said in its letter. The group said a typical senior seeking insurance on a state exchange has an annual income under $25,000.

It MUST go up...because the cost of healthcare IS going up. You can't buy a new car for the same "payment" you had for your first car in the 1960s. Because cars cost more now.

ALL government numbers are wrong.
If you use $1 million in your lifetime...you'd have to have paid over $1000 a month from birth to age 80...to break even. ANYONE paying less is being subsidized.

Or/and...they get paid by others to say what will help them. AARP is a POLITICAL organization.
