I also don't know how the CBO "counts" who "loses" coverage. Since there are several million people who've already chosen to pay the penalty instead of having insurance, do they get "counted" in the number that will "lose it". Because my perception is more like yours. The 20+ million will be PREDOMINATELY people who are pushed off of medicaid and can't begin to afford an individual plan.
