Jake Tapper/factcheck.org on claims about the Koch Bros funded study on health care costs

73. How does this address what CNN and factcheck.org say about what the study actually concluded vs

what AOC and Sanders said it did?

Even the author says so:

“Proponents are perfectly free to argue for those provider cuts and to say that THEY believe M4A will therefore lower national health spending, — and also to cite whatever data they want in support of their arguments, from any study they find credible,” Blahous told us. “What they shouldn’t say is that I also reached that conclusion, because that’s incorrect. That finding should not be attributed to me or to my study.”

And Tapper said at the end of the video that CNN was not making any comments on MFA - just the difference between what AOC and Sanders said about the study and what the study actually concluded.

If there are any "horses and handgrenades" it's the difference between what the study concluded, and what Sanders and AOC said it concluded.
