Re: ACA costs up, but still pays for itself, March 25 news brief.
The Congressional Budget Office says that Obamacare has insured 22 million Americans who were formerly without health insurance, and that the measure more than pays for itself. This makes me think about the promises of the Republican presidential candidates who say things like, On day one of my presidency, I ll repeal Obamacare. It also makes me wonder what they will be doing on day two to restore health care to 22 million Americans. I m breathlessly waiting for their answer.
