I don't know of one, other than common sense...

The plan allows the insurance company to levy an initial charge to the purchaser. I can't remember exactly but it seems to have been about 4 months premium.

As far as 50+ million without insurance by 2026, the number will go up significantly without a new insurance bill. BlueCross said they will sell no more Obamacare and discontinue policy renewals.

Anyone who want insurance can buy insurance. Like Obama said, 50 bucks a month for a cell phone, 50 for internet service and 50 for cable. $150/mo goes a long way to cover healthcare. Or, if you think the cellphone, tv and internet are more important that your healthcare...there's pills for mental illness.

What happens to a 200 footlong steel beam if it's only supported on the two ends?

Hint: It collapses under its own weight.

Re: Tell me again how accurate the CBO was scoring Obamacare?***

Tell me again how many of Trump's supporters his Healthcare Plan and Budget Plan are going to get screwwed?

As for the CBO on Obamacare, instead of listening to the Fox talking heads, you might consider doing a little research...here you go:

"So, was the Congressional Budget Office really “way, way off … in every aspect” of how it predicted that Obamacare would work, as the White House claims? No, it wasn’t.
The CBO actually nailed the overall impact of the law on the uninsured pretty closely. It predicted a big drop in the percentage of people under age 65 who would lack insurance, and that turned out to be the case. CBO projected that in 2016 that nonelderly rate would fall to 11 percent, and the latest figure put the actual rate at 10.3 percent.
It’s true (as Trump administration officials have repeatedly pointed out) that CBO greatly overestimated the number who would get government-subsidized coverage through the new insurance exchanges. But at the same time, CBO underestimated the number who would get coverage through expanding Medicaid.
And whatever the failings of CBO’s predictions, they were closer to the mark than those of the Obama administration and some other prominent forecasters.
Let’s look at the details.
Back on March 20, 2010, when the law had taken its final form and was working its way to President Obama’s desk, the CBO issued its official estimate of the cost and effects of the Affordable Care Act. And after the Supreme Court struck down a key part of that law — ruling that states could not be forced to expand eligibility for Medicaid — CBO updated its estimates accordingly in July 2012.
In what follows, we will cite CBO’s 2012 projections unless otherwise indicated, since we can never know how accurate the 2010 projections would have been had the law been allowed to take effect as written."

CBO Scores House Health Care Bill.

The Senate may craft a very different bill

The Senate will make changes, but there is no way to reduce

You only have any given preexisting condition once.

Good luck landing a job without a phone.***

That is complete asisnine logic.***

Ugh, it would only affect non-group insureds

I wish they wouldn't do reconciliation to pass this bill.

Pretty accurate and much more accurate than any others.

I don't believe that's true at all...

You still haven't identified a better predictor.***

Re: Tell me again how accurate the CBO was scoring Obamacare?***

from yesterday's discussion on the same piece...

I see you guys all got your stories straight.***
