SUMMARY: Wolf Blitzer did not challenge Rep. John Boehner's false claim that the "Congressional Budget Office came out with a score on Senator Kennedy's bill, just part of ... his bill that says that the public option would cost over a trillion dollars." In fact, the CBO's preliminary analysis of the draft bill did not assess the impact of a "public option" for health insurance.
