Another Victory For Obamacare

"The Congressional Budget Office is projecting that the federal government will take in $16 billion from health plans that are essentially making a profit on the exchange -- and will redistribute $8 billion to other insurers running a loss. That means $8 billion in net savings for the federal government...This is a pretty significant obstacle for Republican efforts to repeal the risk corridors. Now, any legislation that repeals the so-called "Obamacare bailout" will be scored as increasing the deficit, and need to come with $8 billion in pay-fors to offset the revenue loss." Sarah Kliff in The Washington Post.
