If you’re confused by the latest Congressional Budget Office report on Obamacare, there’s a very good reason. Many of the people who are writing/talking about the report are confused. Others who are writing/talking about it want you to be confused. In any case, the latest reading is that the report says 2.3 million workers will choose to leave their jobs by 2021 — not that there will be 2.3 million fewer jobs. Or something like that. There is one consensus opinion — that the report will provide fodder for Obamacare attack ads in the coming November elections.
Here’s a sample of what people are writing/saying about the report.
Sarah Kliff says there’s good, bad and ugly in the report in her Wonkblog analysis.
