"Bogus" Study Touted By The Washington Post

Last night, reports circulated that a new study showing the Affordable Care Act, pejoratively known as Obamacare, and more widely known as health-care reform, will actually increase the deficit. The study was completed by Republican Medicare trustee, and former Bush administration official, Charles Blahous. The Washington Post legitimized the study by pointing to Blahous' "trustee"signature, so surely it must be credible. Right? Unfortunately, as many have started to point out, Blahous' math is erroneous and it turns out that in fact the CBO analysis that the ACA will reduce the deficit is still correct. I'm still at a loss as to how this became such big news so quickly. It should not be incredibly shocking that a Republican and The Washington Post would argue against health-care reform.
