Unsurprisingly, the GOP is doubling down on this dishonesty by talking about eliminating the risk corridors as a condition for raising the federal debt limit. <br /><br />The CBO, in any case, says that in 2015-2024, the government will pay out $8 billion in risk subsidies to the insurers but collect $16 billion. Real-world math says this is a gain to the Treasury of $8 billion; GOP math says it's a "bailout." You be the judge.<br /><br /><br />http://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-mh-cbo-20140204,0,3106578.story#ixzz2sPQ87VmDPilotXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15234878016006206713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-35166316686678449322014-02-04T20:59:53.716-05:002014-02-04T20:59:53.716-05:00The CBO projects that the act will reduce the supp...The CBO projects that the act will reduce the supply of labor, not the availability of jobs. There's a big difference. In fact, it suggests that aggregate demand for labor (that is, the number of jobs) will increase, not decrease; but that many workers or would-be workers will be prompted by the ACA to leave the labor force, many of them voluntarily.<br /><br />As economist Dean Baker points out, this is, in fact, a beneficial effect of the law, and a sign that it will achieve an important goal. It helps "older workers with serious health conditions who are working now because this is the only way to get health insurance. And (one for the family-values crowd) many young mothers who return to work earlier than they would like because they need health insurance. This is a huge plus."<br /><br /><br />http://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-mh-cbo-20140204,0,3106578.story#ixzz2sPPaVTuyPilotXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15234878016006206713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-68199540613599985192014-02-04T20:25:04.137-05:002014-02-04T20:25:04.137-05:00Trollonymous Burgundy said...
