CBO: 23 Million Would Lose Insurance Under Republican Healthcare Plan

HeadlineMay 25, 2017

The Congressional Budget Office says the new Republican healthcare plan would cause 23 million people to lose their healthcare by 2026. The plan narrowly passed the House early this month. It’s not clear whether the bill will pass the Senate. This is New York Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer.

Sen. Chuck Schumer: “The report makes clear: Trumpcare would be a cancer on the American healthcare system, causing costs to skyrocket, making coverage unaffordable for those with pre-existing conditions, and many seniors, and kicking millions off their health insurance. Unless you’re a healthy millionaire, Trumpcare is a nightmare.”
