Jeez, TB try harder...
From the report:
Later, following additional changes to subsidies for insurance purchased in the nongroup
market and to the Medicaid program, the increase in the number of uninsured people
relative to the number under current law would rise to 21 million in 2020 and then to
24 million in 2026. The reductions in insurance coverage between 2018 and 2026 would
stem in large part from changes in Medicaid enrollment—because some states would
discontinue their expansion of eligibility, some states that would have expanded eligibility
in the future would choose not to do so, and per-enrollee spending in the program would be
capped. In 2026, an estimated 52 million people would be uninsured, compared with
28 million who would lack insurance that year under current law.
This bill will force states to do away with medicare expansion, and it benefits the young and wealthy while penalizing the older and poor...
There is no way you can spin this as a decent plan, or even a humane one.
We are talking about 10's of millions uninsured.
