What is it with people completely ignoring reality? In this case, it's the folks at the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). Last time we checked, they'd just realized that ObamneyCare© is going to cost over $1.7 trillion to implement, or roughly double what they'd previously projected.Their current delusion is that ObamneyCare© won't lead to the mass extinction of the group health insurance market, despite widespread evidence that it will:
"Forecasters at the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) ... are refusing to predict that [ObamneyCare©] will lead to a sharp drop in enrollment in employer-sponsored health plans ... will require most employers over a certain size to offer health coverage ... will permit the employers to get out of offering coverage by paying a penalty for each employee"
Hmmm, let's see: Tens of thousands of dollars and major administrative headaches to comply with constantly changing plan design rules, or a few thou in fines.
The technical term here is: easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy.
