OMB Director Peter Orszag just posted a response to a brutal fiscal analysis of health care reform by CBO Director Doug Elmendorf.
Orszag's response is conciliatory, saying the White House never said the health care reform would solve the unsustainable budget deficit -- although many think this was Obama's claim.
But Orszag's says Elmendorf underestimates the fundamental changes reform will bring:
The fact that more action must be taken on the deficit even after enactment of the Affordable Care Act, however, is a distinct question from whether the health legislation helps to improve our fiscal course — which it does.
