it, and the white house slamming that scoring. these are the costs and the impact estimates, the republicans did not wait for it before passing the revised gop bill to repeal and replace obamacare. the cbo, the congressional budget office says the number of uninsured people would increase by 23 million by 2026, compared to 24 million under the original bill. the cbo found the bill, that the house passed would save less money, reducing deficits by $119 billion over ten years versus $150 billion under the original years. the white house says the senate is rewriting the house bill. the question is, how will these numbers factor in, if at all? joining me now is the former labor secretary and author of saving capital licism, not the few.
they were saying that this reporter was asking inappropriate questions. that was a very appropriate question, considering the cbo score for the republican health care bill just came out today. let me talk to you about that. because, you know, that s exactly what he was saying, he was allegedly assaulted. 23 million more uninsured by 2026, compared to obamacare or the affordable care act. it would reduce the federal deficit by $119 billion by 2026. what s your reaction to this bill? well, let me just say quickly, yeah, a very fair question, given the fact that the actual election is right around the corner. say, well, i ll answer that later, you know, well, the election is here. and you have to answer the question. and i wouldn t want to answer the question, either, if i was supporting a bill that knocked 23 million people off of their health care. and it s going to tell people s moms and grandmas who are in a nursing home that they re no longer going to get help paying for that. they
reporter. you heard the cbo s scoring of it, and the white house slamming that scoring. theories are that the cost and the impact estimates the republicans did not wait for before passing a revised gop bill to repeal and replace obama care. the cbo says the number of uninsured would increase by 23 million, they also found that the bill the house passed would save less money, by saving $119 billion versus $150 billion during the original by. history has shown the cbo incapable of accurately predicting what a health care bill will cost. author of saying capitalism for the many, not the few, and

american health care act to win enough votes to have it passed. congressional budget office has added up the cost. the headline of the report that democrats are jumping on tonight is that over the course of the next decade, there are a projected 23 million people without insurance. unless you are a healthy millionaire, trumpcare is a nightmare. this report ought to be the final nail in the coffin. congressional budget office projects that if the american health care act becomes law of the land, 51 million people under age 65 will be uninsured in a decade. that s 23 million more uninsured than if obamacare remains in place. the budget office projects lower premiums and the deficit that s $119 billion lower. republicans who have always been more about access to insurance instead of actual coverage are claiming victory tonight. speaker ryan said the cbo
