The Trump administration on Monday lashed out at the Congressional Budget Office’s report that estimated that about 24 million more Americans in a few years would be uninsured under the new legislation.
The bill, called the American Health Care Act, would be “less generous” with new tax credits for those receiving subsidies under the current law and the plan would likely increase average premiums in the nongroup market until 2020.
Tom Price, the Health and Human Services secretary, downplayed the report and said, “we disagree strenuously with the report that was put out. It’s just not believable is what we would suggest.”
The CBO report, compiled along with staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation, also determined that the Republicans’ American Health Care Act would save money for taxpayers. According to the study, it would reduce federal deficits by $337 billion from 2017 to 2026.

Exactly like the voters 4 and 8 years ago. Hanging on the hopey changey mouth piece.
Nothing would even pry their eyes open to reality.
Yeah, they were worse. Much worse. Conservatives have just been so beat down that we put in our hopes on somebody who seem like they might actually listen. We do it time and again, mainly because we have no other choices, but we do figure it out almost immediately.
And the Obama voters, they are still blinded! Even after all the proof right in front of their eyes they still refuse to see it.
Marx and Lenin and Stalin were right, you can brainwash the masses.
Let’s get real. The CBO is and always has been a joke. A place where people who are lousy in math go to work.
Although you state "medical", please explain how illegals can get insurance. I had to show my tax returns in order to qualify for any insurance. I truly did not like that someone now has a copy of my taxes. Did I miss the option of not having to show taxes?
Illegals are given a tax number to file under they get HUGE EITC refunds for their kids, in Ca. most of the green cards and paper work SS #s ect. are fake and purchased for about 50.00!!! They are ALL on Medicaid, SNAP, kids are all in our schools being educated, and get HUGE housing subsidies!!!
Thanks for solving my mystery.
There is nothing to suggest that.
It is not as though the critics know anything about the repeal, but that does not mean they keep quiet about it.
Your post says the opposite from what you think.
NOthing has happened to Trump. There are UXBs in the law which have to be maneuvered around.
Some one who has a clue. Good to see. BTW there has never been a “free market” for insurance of any sort. Every state has a department which writes regulation for insurance companies. THAT means NO free market. And expecting these commissions to surrender their power is hopelessly optimistic.
Trump will do what he can but don’t expect miracles.
Yeah, it would be so much better if “conservatives” had nominated their guy and Hillary won.
You Never Trumpers can hardly wait to find something to tar him with. Fortunately his supporters will stand by him.
Ryan wins his district in landslides. His last opponent allegedly a conservative was Crushed, an embarrassment.
Maybe he WONT win in a landslide this time!!!
That would be incredibly stupid but consistent within the zealots.
Ten year predictions are utterly useless.
It is attitudes like yours which empower the Democrats, keep it up.
He won’t be beat by anyone more conservative than he that you can bank on.
Plus he knows more about these government programs than anyone. Ignorance vs the Truth wins only when Democrats vote.
Sure, it’s my fault that Trump sold out to Ryancare and wants to own the dumpster fire that is Obamacare lite.
The Democrats are empowered because Trump has done NOTHING to move against them.
Hey go back and look at my posts and you will see that I have been very supportive of President Trump and have showed him his due respect as President. However, I will hold his feet to the fire and have a list of his promises. Just like our elected State and County officials, I will track their every move and hold them accountable.
Unlike you devout Trumpettes who still have sand in your eyes from having your head in the sand, I will pay attention.
