Yes Obamacare is Cheaper Than We Thought, Republicans Wrong Again

Ezra Klein explains the CBO report, CBO: Health reform to cut deficit by $50 billion more than we thought. He also debunks the Republican claims that this same report actually says the ACA costs more than predicted.

Krugman takes this to explain How Bad the Debate Is. Republican congressmen have been saying the report says things are more expensive in statements and in congressional debate (I saw a little of it on CSPAN). Krugman: "Tell me that this is a rational, honest debate. Or if you claim that everyone does it, find me a senior Democrat — not some random pundit or backbencher — making an equivalent howler."
