On the recordMarch 12, 2012
Well, I worked with former CBO Director Douglas Holtz-Eakin in trying to look at the numbers that are presented, and we don't have enough. We don't have enough information, which is why I am grateful for the fact that Director Elmendorf recognized that there is some credible evidence to cause the CBO to reassess that estimate of 1 million people. So they are working through those numbers right now. Hopefully, they will give us a very full accounting of that in the next couple of weeks. But the work I did with Douglas Holtz-Eakin showed that if 90 million get put in those exchanges, it could cost over $400 billion a year.
