CBO lowers "Obamacare" costs - Right wing media says it DOUBLED
The estimated gross cost of providing coverage to uninsured people will be a little higher than the CBO predicted a year ago but the net cost will be a little lower than in the CBO’s previous estimate.
One reason why: in its economic forecast the CBO now assumes that “the unemployment rate is higher throughout the projection period than it was in last year’s forecast.”

Rush Limbaugh lead this talking point on his show today.....and all of the chorus followed - as usual
