The CBO was wrong about Obamacare so I don't trust they have learned.

Yes, their first estimate was wrong. They didn't expect that the Supreme Court would rule that mandating all states to expand medicare was unconstitutional, so the number of people covered was initially overestimated. The deficit reduction impact of Obamacare was, on the other hand, biased toward an underestimate because they can't quantify things like preventive health care. Nevertheless, the CBO projections have proven to be more on target than those of any other institution.

With a strong economy and low unemployment, new workers will be able to get insurance through their company. That will also reduce welfare and food stamp costs.

Not if the republicans repeal the Obamacare mandate that companies with over 50 employees need to offer health care coverage. Not if they repeal the Obamacare subsidies for employers with fewer than 50 employees who offer health care to their employees. Not if republicans keep the minimum wage below the poverty level.

I am done with this stupid health care BS. Let it die!

Glad you're throwing in the towel. The propaganda was growing repetitious.
