CBO: 22 Million Fewer Covered Under Senate TrumpCare Bill!


The Congressional Budget Office has now analyzed the Senate TrumpCare/ tax cuts for the rich bill:
Twenty-two million fewer people would have health coverage over the next 10 years under legislation that Senate Republicans aim to bring to the floor for a vote this week, according to the Congressional Budget Office.  
The measure would dramatically scale back federal funding for Medicaid and financial assistance low- and middle-income people receive to make private health insurance affordable. The hundreds of billions of dollars saved would mostly be transferred to wealthy people and health care companies in the form of tax cuts. And the bill would reduce the federal budget deficit by $321 billion over the coming decade.
Here's the CBO report for you.

The jig is now up; there's no fixing this as a purported "health insurance reform bill." We now want to hear from the weasel caucus as to how this will affect their vote.

I just saw something where these CBO #'s are fake. Chances are very high this will get passed. It's beyond bizarre!

One Fly - Definitely true numbers. We just added the link to the CBO report itself. The Repubs will say, as they did with the CBO's ACHA analysis, that they're fake numbers , because that's all they got and they hope their knuckle- dragging base will believe them.

I know that you guys - just brought that up because the MAGA's will only believe shit like that over the truth.
