Look what Politico found out today:
The co-ops are dealt with, in fact, in a passing parenthetical remark:
(The proposed co-ops had very little effect on the estimates of total enrollment in the exchanges or federal costs because, as they are described in the specifications, they seem unlikely to establish a significant market presence in many areas of the country or to noticeably affect federal subsidy payments.)
The CBO confirms what liberal co-op critics have charged: That they will neither cover many people nor put downward pressure on costs, the two supposed benefits of the public option.
They would have found it yesterday, if they'd been reading Daiy Kos diarist Tax problems.
