Donald Trump isn’t gonna like this!
The Congressional Budget Office (a resource Drumpf has cited before when criticizing Barack Obama) just released its report on the American Health Care Act — and the numbers are quite frightening.
According to the CBO, an estimated 14 million more people will be “uninsured under the legislation than under current law” in 2018 if Trump’s plan becomes law. That’s NEXT YEAR, in case you forgot.
Further, that number is expected to climb to 24 million by 2026:
“In 2026, an estimated 52 million people would be uninsured, compared with 28 million who would lack insurance that year under current law.”
Great — we continue to move backwards!

After today’s report, It’s only a matter of time before Trump says that the CBO is wiretapping him

When even the guy you handpicked to run your numbers gives you a shitty answer, you know it’s game over.

Trump any minute now – “I never liked the CBO. Game of Thrones is overrated. Sad!”

So the top line number of the CBO estimate is 24 million people will be without insurance coverage. That’s about the entire state of TX

Let’s not forget, @realDonaldTrump LOVES the work of the CBO. At least he did when Obama was president. https://t.co/oU3k28wfg7 pic.twitter.com/GCgUPTUzDi

So what GOP “health reform” amounts to is a big tax break for the rich–and less coverage and increased risk of death for ordinary people.

I’m old enough to remember when @realDonaldTrump thought the #CBO mattered and unemployment numbers didn’t.

Remember Trump’s previous tweets about the CBO when he attacks them for saying that 24 million will end up uninsured. https://t.co/GAuHzvaGfJ
