White House: CBO 'Simply Has It Wrong' On GOP Healthcare Bill

Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price on Monday dismissed the newly released Congressional Budget Office analysis of the House GOP healthcare bill, calling it "just not believable."

Flanked by Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney, Price told reporters outside the White House that "we disagree strenuously" with the report and said the CBO considered only a "portion" of the Republican plan.

Price and White House officials are promoting three "phases" of their effort to repeal and replace Obamacare. The House bill represents phase one of the roll out, while other phases include regulatory reform and additional legislation that has yet to be introduced.

"The fact of the matter is, we're working on the regulations right now," Price said.

In "scoring" the House bill, the CBO estimated that 24 million more Americans would be without health insurance by 2026, including 14 million more lacking coverage by 2018.

Yes because a ripoff artist who's declared multiple bankruptcies and a boutique doctor who has stock in health insurance companies are so much more believable.
