Not taking sides against a public health care option, but this definitely sounds like a people trying to to fit the math to come out to the answer they want. Someone else could fund a study coming to a different conclusion and we would not know if either would turn out to be true.

pivot by feeding other junk into the studies so they come out the way they want them to.
