Clo,

The House Republicans are already undermining the CBO report, before it's been released (from the item below):

Argument No. 1: The CBO isn’t reliable

Republicans have been making this argument loudly for a few days now: The CBO got it wrong when it predicted the effects of the Affordable Care Act, so there is no reason to take it as gospel now.

Here was Mick Mulvaney, budget director for the Trump administration, on ABC’s “This Week”:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/republicans-budget-obamacare-repeal_us_58c57942e4b0ed71826d3c8d?5d5v6r9v7808uxr&;

If the CBO was right about Obamacare to begin with, there’d be 8 million more people on Obamacare today than there actually are. So I love the folks at the CBO, they work really hard, they do, but sometimes we ask them to do stuff they’re not capable of doing, and estimating the impact of a bill of this size probably isn’t the ― isn’t the best use of their time.
