Chuck Schumer Responds To CBO Numbers Saying 24 Million Will Lose Insurance
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Monday that the Congressional Budget Office report on the Republican Obamacare replacement plan makes it clear that “TrumpCare will cause serious harm to millions of American families.”
The CBO estimated that the Republican bill would result in 14 million fewer people having health insurance in 2018 and 24 million fewer people by 2026.
“The CBO’s estimate makes clear that TrumpCare will cause serious harm to millions of American families,” Schumer said in a statement. “Tens of millions will lose their coverage, and millions more, particularly seniors, will have to pay more for health care. The CBO score shows just how empty the president’s promises, that everyone will be covered and costs will go down, have been. This should be a looming stop sign for the Republicans repeal effort.”
