James Lankford: ‘I Don’t Agree’ with the CBO’s ‘Premise’ that 23 Million Will Lose Insurance

RUSH EXCERPT:
LANKFORD: "I’m going through it like everybody else, trying to read it in between meetings. The number of people that wouldn’t get coverage doesn’t bother me as much. Only in that it is a guess from CBO. They base their guess on if people aren’t mandated to buy coverage, they won’t buy coverage. I don’t agree with that premise. I think if you get the prices down, most people want coverage. There are policies they can’t buy now and options that aren’t there. I think there are options that they can’t have. We do look close at the spending numbers. Those are the bigger issues for us."
