I may have found the CBO analysis that the President and the Republicans were arguing about at the Health Care Summit. The CBO analysis can be found in the letter to Senator Evan Bayh dated November 30, 2009.

Follow this link to read the analysis.

It is a 29 page letter which says a lot of complicated things. I just had a chance to skim it. You can analyze it and report back here.

I extracted the following paragraph which I DO NOT represent as being indicative of the conclusions, if any, of the letter.

‘CBO and JCT estimate that the elements of the legislation that would change the price of providing a given amount of coverage for a given population would, on net, reduce the average premium per person for nongroup coverage in 2016 by about 7 percent to 10 percent relative to the amount under current law. Those elements of the legislation would reduce the average premium per person in the small group market by about 1 percent to 4 percent and would not have a measurable impact on premiums in the large group market.’

Here is a guy who had a near fatal accident in 1991 in a Toyota MR2 that was probably caused by design problems in the car.  Yet he is defending Toyota against the recent hysteria.

If this isn’t the oddest story of the day, I don’t know what is.  Even Sarah Palin sneaking into Canada to get health care doesn’t beat this.

We used to hustle over the border for health care we received in Canada. And I think now, isn’t that ironic? – Sarah Palin, former Alaska governor and U.S. vice-presidential candidate.
