CBO: 24 million will lose insurance
The Congressional Budget Office released its report on the Trump/Ryan new healthcare bill. It will decimate the health insurance for the neediest as 24 million will lose coverage. The New York Times reported the following.
WASHINGTON — The House Republican plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act would cause 24 million people to lose health insurance within a decade, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said on Monday.Republicans had been bracing for what was almost certain to be a bleak accounting of the legislation’s projected effects. The American Health Care Act, as Republicans call their bill, was already facing widespread criticism from providers of health care, some conservatives, and a united Democratic Party. The numbers released Monday will only make it more difficult for Republicans to explain why their legislation would bring positive change to the country’s health care system.

This borders on pure criminality on the part of Donald Trump, Paul Ryan, and those in the Republican Party intent on voting on this evil bill. The party that likes to call itself pro-life is now showing that tax cuts for their wealthy benefactors are much more important than the lives of average Americans.
