Some of this is because Republican states decided to reject the Medicaid money and make millions of their poor residents go without healthcare insurance. But much of the rest of it is due to lowered health costs. The projected health care costs were a major part of the whole debate, where Republicans all said that the costs would be far greater than the projections, that those were lies. And it turns out that the cost estimates were in fact conservative and the premium increases well below those conservative budgets. So, are Republicans going to apologize?
