@jasonaltmire "bailout" ... That's a politically potent word. I'm skeptical, tho, that House Rs can manage 218 for this or anything on DL -
@DavidMDrucker - Agree on both points. Still, ironic that GOP's top potential DL sweetener adds to the debt. -
@jasonaltmire Politics never just about CBO scores - for either party. -
@DavidMDrucker@jasonaltmire how does repealing the risk corridor add to the debt? -
@ningrim - Money flows both ways, to/from insurers. CBO says $8B more goes from insurers to gov't because HC costs lower than expected. - 1 more reply

@DavidMDrucker even if the House caves eventually, can they force vulnerable Dem Senators to vote against repeal of risk corridor? -
@ningrim Dems won't budge and the politics of confrontation aren't in GOP's favor. So eventually this is likely to go one way. -
@DavidMDrucker but getting them on the record voting against repeal of risk corridor matters for 2014 midterms

@DavidMDrucker even after CBO says that’ll cost $8 billion? -
@DemFromCT I'm doubtful they'll coalesce around this, but yes. They think the program will be a net bailout. -

@DavidMDrucker Interesting, TY for the reporting. (follow this guy, peeps, and don’t shoot the messenger.)
