Republican senators have asked the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office to score two health care proposals, Axios reported on Saturday.
Axios reported, citing an unnamed Republican aide familiar with the discussions, that Senate Republicans asked the CBO to score one version of the bill including Sen. Ted Cruzs (R-TX) proposal to bypass some insurance regulations and one version without it.

(860 posts)some NE R senator was on CNN saying that the CBO of the '60's was
way off on medicare so we should be even more skeptical of the CBO now.
Forgot to mention that even if that were true about the CBO of the '60's,
the abilities of the CBO today are light years more than back in the '60's so wrong on that account.
