That’s pretty much the gist of what’s happened:
Four years after enactment of what is widely viewed as President Barack Obama’s key legislative achievement, however, it’s unclear whether the health care law is still on track to reduce the deficit or whether it may actually end up adding to the federal debt. In fact, the answer to that question has become something of a mystery.
In its latest report on the law, the Congressional Budget Office said it is no longer possible to assess the overall fiscal impact of the law. That conclusion came as a surprise to some fiscal experts in Washington and is drawing concern. And without a clear picture of the law’s overall financing, it could make it politically easier to continue delaying pieces of it, including revenue raisers, because any resulting cost increases might be hidden.
Fan-freaking-tastic.

OMG. The CBO can't even estimate how much ObamaCare is going to cost anymore? http://t.co/ZW2cvWKotS WTF is going here?
— RBe (@RBPundit) June 4, 2014
"Seriously, you guys. ObamaCare will reduce the deficit. Trust us." Three years later… "Uh, we can't analyze the cost anymore! So weird!"
— RBe (@RBPundit) June 4, 2014
Obamacare has to operate without a budget to be justified.. You know, just like everything else Democrats have a hand in.

That's the hallmark of any tightly-run govt program. @allahpundit CBO can no longer assess the fiscal impact of ObamaCare
