Similar Stories to Cbo: Bipartisan Obamacare Fix Would Reduce Deficit on Bing News

Campaign Action Oh, hey. A healthcare bill has gotten a good report from the Congressional Budget Office—quite a novelty here in 2017. And look, it’s the bipartisan effort to stabilize the Obamacare markets! A bipartisan deal to shore up ObamaCare's insurance markets would reduce the deficit by nearly $4 billion by 2027, according to a score released Wednesday by Congress's nonpartisan scorekeeper. The bill, sponsored by Sens. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) and Patty Murray (D-Wash.), would fund key ObamaCare insurer subsidies and give states more flexibility to change their ObamaCare programs. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) said in its report Wednesday that the bill would not substantially impact the number of people with health insurance. Saving nearly $4 billion over 10 years is not a huge amount by government standards, but it sounds pretty damn good when you consider that Donald Trump’s alternative, not funding cost sharing reductions, would increase the deficit by $194 billion. Republicans opposing the Murray-Alexander plan as some kind of bailout for insurance companies, ball’s in your court.

Crooks and Liars, Thursday - 01/02/2025 - 09:52 PM
Alex Jones guest host Chase Geiser claimed the latest terror attacks allegedly done by two former US military men were caused by the CIA's long defunct MKUltra program. MK-ULTRA was a dark period in the history of the CIA, when they conducted secret experiments on Americans using LSD and other drugs to perfect mind control to be used as a weapon against our enemies in the 1950s and 60s. In Geiser's short insane rant, he claimed the government used MK-ULTRA on the two former US military personnel to commit terrorists attacks on New Orleans and Las Vegas -- and that's not all, folks.
