TrumpCare Equals NoCare for 24 Million Americans?!


The long-awaited report from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office on the impact of the Republican TrumpCare bill was released this afternoon, Monday, March 13th, just about an hour ago. 



Over a decade, 24 million people will lose health insurance, and therefore, access to health care.     



I saved this cartoon from 2009... I just updated it based on CBO scoring.

The long-awaited report from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office on the impact of the Republican TrumpCare bill was released this afternoon, Monday, March 13th, just about an hour ago.  The CBO estimates that, over a decade 24 million people will lose health insurance, and therefore, access to health care.   Let's see how Trump, Fox, and Republicans as a whole spin this report.

From an article at the Hill:
The Congressional Budget Office on Monday projected that the number of uninsured people would grow by 14 million in 2018 under the Republican ObamaCare replacement bill, with that number rising to 24 million a decade.
The long-awaited analysis from the nonpartisan congressional scorekeeper is likely to shake up the debate in Congress over the measure, which could come up for a vote in the House next week.
The estimate of the drop in coverage is larger than even many analysts had predicted.
