House Dem Memo: Don’t Talk About Health Care Costs
A Democratic health care memo is floating through the halls of Congress telling members to avoid talking about the bill's cost.
A memo floating through the halls of Congress is warning House Democrats to avoid talking about the health care bill’s costs as calculated by the Congressional Budget Office:
…do not allow yourself (or your boss) to get into a discussion of the details of CBO scores and textual narrative.
Hmmm. Maybe that’s because:
…the latest CBO projections confirm — again — that the president’s health plan would pile another unfinanced entitlement program on top of the unaffordable ones already on the federal books.
Update: Politico is reporting the memo’s authenticity is being challenged.
