Preposterously stupid framing.https://twitter.com/USATODAY/status/867483554942402560 …
why? The issue with this CBO report was how did final bill compare to draft bill. Our "framing" is just "math."

But any casual reader could easily not understand how minimal and largely meaningless this figure is context
-
I suppose one could write "CBO says final GOP bill still would dramatically increase number of uninsured" - but that was not in doubt.
-
yeah I mean that seems much more accurate in a big picture way, don't you think?
-
Big picture remains the debate over coverage for those millions - absolutely. This "little picture" story is comparing two CBO estimates.

It is for this CBO report - we wrote a month ago: 24 million uninsured. That number now 23 million. About as much detail as fits in tweet.

Most "math" involves "numbers." In this instance, you've omitted the germane ones.

Perhaps you'd understand if this was presented in a pie chart.

I believe it's called missing the forest for the trees. 23 million uninsured > 1 million gain over old AHCA.

That's hardly the story here...trying to get an exclusive with Trump via friendly press won't go far.
