Fourteen million more Americans would be uninsured under the House Republican health care bill than under Obamacare in 2018, rising to 24 million by 2026, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office said Monday.
In total, an estimated 52 million people would be uninsured by 2026 under the GOP plan, titled the American Health Care Act, compared to 28 million who would lack insurance under the current law.
The Republican bill would reduce the federal deficits by $337 billion over 10 years, the CBO said.
