The Congressional Budget Office just released their updated budget baseline. (Yeah, I’ll wait for everyone to stop partying)
Umm, hmmm… the most interesting thing to me is that the CBO is now officially counting Silver Loading of the Cost Sharing Reduction subsidies as part of the budget baseline.
CBO’s baseline now reflects silver loading. https://t.co/lV5uJTLR4L pic.twitter.com/PvyUdM9h2t

Now that Silver Loading is officially part of the baseline, it can be part of an explicit discussion of policy trade-offs. I don’t expect anything to happen this year for a dozen different reasons but this is a worthwhile thing to note.
