I believe you. But, the people acting upon the study would be legislators; Republicans and Democrats. Do you believe they would do the same? Hell, they don't even accept what the CBO says so I doubt any legitimate research from what should be credible, nonpartisan sources such as the CDC, NIH, or HHS would make much of a difference in the partisanship that is already a problem.
