Saw this posted on another board, put out by George Mason University. Examines costs and performance of ACA. Not favorably from what little I looked at. I wonder who funded this study?I swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell.

Some of their other, ahem, "analysis" is pimping for deregulation.
They're an ideology shop appended to a university for cover, like Hoover.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercatus_Center
The Kochs gave it $30 million.
The Mercatus Center was founded by Rich Fink as the Center for the Study of Market Processes at Rutgers University. After the Koch family gave more than $30 million to George Mason University,[4] the Center moved there in the mid-1980s. It took its current name in 1999.[4]
The Mercatus Center is a 501(c)3 non-profit and does not receive support from George Mason University or any federal, state or local governments. It is entirely funded through donations, including corporate donations from Koch Industries[7][5] (it received over $9 million from 1985 to 2014 from the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation according to the Conservative Transparency project)[8][6] and at least $330,000 from ExxonMobil from 1998 to 2016 according to the ExxonMobil annual "Worldwide Giving Reports".[9][better source needed] In 2011, 58% of its funding came from foundations, 40% from individuals, and 2% from businesses.[10]Last edited by Kepler; 11-28-2017, 06:19 PM.Cornell University

They were both Central American, where Catholicism is basically Santeria with Plastic Jesus stuck on as a hood ornament to appease whitey.a legend and an out of work bum look a lot alike, daddy.
