Its not a fair analysis. and we could give examples. i talked before about how they assume at cbo that if you are on medicaid and you are getting that program for free, and the federal mandate to have insurance goes away, that you will give up that free program and choose to be uninsured. which is just -- its just nonsensical until you realize the methodology that they are using. the cbo is doing their job. they are giving the best job they can given the methodologies they are required toous. no...

>> okay -- >> the majority of republicans. >> come back from the -- >> the majority of republics dont like the gop plan. the bottom line is, there is a consensus that there need to be repairs done. were still in this juncture right now where theres very little agreement. republicans are having a hard time getting everyone to support the plan right now, in fact, it was the subject of the white house, and its op ed today calling the cbo report, theres been a delay in the relief, criticism of the c...

Promised it over and over again, so it kind of annoys me that republicans are going back on their word to repeal obamacare. >> all right, well, the congressional budget office, their analysis of the latest version of the bill thats due out later this week, while smo some have questioned the cbo scores methodology, its still to have an impact on those undecided about the current obamacare replacement. you see some of the question marks there, that, of course, not all inclusive. joining us now, br...

Promised in the election and we promised it over and over again, so it kind of annoys me that republicans are going back on their word to repeal obamacare. >> add to that the congressional budget office analysis of the latest version of the senate republican bill that is due out in the coming days. while some have questioned the cbo scores methodology, it is still expected to have an impact on those still undecided about the current obamacare replacement. joining me now, msnbc political analyst ...

Insurance under obama cared that this would imperil. this was the nail in their coffin. these are the headlines a few weeks ago. now, the white house is coming out saying basically these are all fake numbers to begin with and we shouldnt be paying attention to it. >> it goes to what were talking about earlier, that they have to proactively send out statement to say to the american people, jesse said he knows cbo comes out in the media talks about this, a lot of it isnt actually accurate. you can...

Any thought, are we going to be in the same numbers range that sort of the 20 plus million in terms of those not having insurance over the next ten years? your thought on that. and a question, a lot challenging the methodology. >> right. i think no matter what kind of changes republicans make to the bill once you repeal the individual mandate, inevitably millions are going to lose their insurance, whether by choice, whether they cant afford it, whatever the reason is, youre going to have million...

The president and others are going after. is he on my site this week? i dont know. trade through the op-ed by martin short to work for the white house mainly in health care. the cbos methodology favors mandates every choice of competition is fundamentally flawed as health care legislation has not worn much resemblance to reality. his prediction is unlikely to fare much better although the media and political left will certainly seize on it. estimates will be little more than fake news. trying to...

What cbo says relative to this legislation. >> you know the guy who runs the cbo was put in place by republicans and tom price, to be exact. >> thats fine. thats fine. >> okay -- >> i would like a hearing. we would like to have hearings on the cbo. maybe we will learn something. maybe ill be proven wrong. i would like to have them come in and ask questions or answer our questions. the piece in "forbes" talks about some of the methodology is suspect. >> congressman, how do you help these folks. p...

Pre-existing conditions. we are eliminate right leg mandates. how it addresses those other three are important. their methodology weighs heavily bone the individual mandate and so the fact that we eliminate mandates, the american people want those gone means that the cbo score will not be as good in coverage numbers. so i want to look at how they discuss their methodology and then make my own decision as to the adequacy of coverage. >> all right. youve been all over this issue. appreciate you co...

Have moved and im one of them who moved from california to washington, d.c. to new york state over the course of the last five or six years and none of us knew that we had to like unregister in one place before we registered. certainly never occurred to any of us that we were going to vote in two states. what do you think the point is behind all of this? >> the concern is theyre going to take this data, use some dubious methodology and junk science to come up with policies that are going to just...
