CBO: 7.6 Million Would Go Uninsured Under GOP Medicaid Bill

The Medicaid portions of the GOP megabill would lead to 10.3 million people losing coverage under the health safety net program and 7.6 million people going uninsured, according to estimates from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

"Republicans need to open their eyes: Our voters support social insurance programs," writes Josh Hawley, a Republican senator from Missouri. "If Republicans want to be a working-class party -- if we want to be a majority party -- we must ignore calls to cut Medicaid."

OLIGARCHY means never having to even think about The Poors.

The Cruelty is both the point and totally unthinking at the same time.

Vacuous Indifference and unreflective group think.

I understand the Elites being Callous...

Why are the Poors so Self Hating and Stupid enough to Vote For this.....

That's the real Mystery,.Skippy.

What are your projections then? 6 million people left uninsured? 2 million people? The victims of your party amount to nearly the entire nation, imo.

Also, where is that "concept of a plan" now? Where is the "big, beautiful medical coverage" promised to all Americans?

Trump lies, so do you.

"same group that told barry and us that obamcare would save us 2500 a year."

^
Saving $2,000 a year just wasn't good enough for you!

Name the much-criticized federal program that has saved the U.S. $2.3 trillion. Hint: it starts with Affordable
www.statnews.com
"Put another way, health care spending in 2017 was $2,000 less per person than it was projected to be. And for the 176 million Americans who have private employer-sponsored insurance, their lower premiums averaged just under $1,000 per person."

Gotta free up some money for the wealthy to keep their tax cuts. Private health care is really expensive.

CBO: 7.6 Million able bodied adults will refuse to work 20 hours a week even doing community service. How can they predict this?

@#7 ... able bodied adults ...

Please state the GOP definition of "able-bodied adults."

thx.

Yup.

Give more money to the uber-wealthy at the expense of working families.

Just like the richest person in the world killing the children of the poorest people in the world.

But, that seems to be what the Trump admin is all about.

-Ages 18-55 not on disability. It's the same for all political parties.
I hope this helps.

It does not.

Age is only one factor in determining eligibility.

Collecting disability is the other, as noted. Preggos and mothers are excepted.
