Ezra Klein - Omnibus post on the 'gimmicks' in the CBO's score of the health-care law

Ezra Klein - Omnibus post on the 'gimmicks' in the CBO's score of the health-care law: "Whenever the health-care law and its CBO score comes back into the news, I get deluged with requests to respond to various Republican critiques of the bill's score. Earlier today, for instance, John asked:

Can you please respond to John Boehner and Paul Ryan's assertions that CBO was given incorrect assumptions when scoring the health care bill. Specifically cited as phony scoring is:

1) $115 billion implementation costs left out
2) Double counting of social security payroll taxes
3) Class Act premiums
4) Medicare Cuts
5) Doc Fix

Sure."
