The Trump administration on Monday lashed out at the Congressional Budget Offices 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. Its 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.

What’s incredibly stupid is this bill and Trump’s endorsement of it.
Since you claim to have supported Trump you should be aware of the dimension of the problems facing him. Anyone expecting major changes to occur instantaneously does not. He has performed admirably and done those things he promised that are possible without Congress. He has proposed a budget that cuts funding to many, if not all, of the Right’s enemies.
1-the Keystone pipeline is back on track and will soon be in operation.
2- he has released executive orders wrt regard to immigration.
3- border crossings of Illegals has declined and some here are going back. The wall has begun its initial phases.
4-He has put patriots into Intelligence, Defense, Commerce, the State Dept., EPA, Justice, and Homeland Security.
5- He has made it clear that the EPA will not pursue the phantom of global warming and will eliminate onerous regulation of the auto industry.
6- He is directly responsible for the increased announcements of business investment here and eliminate some of that going abroad.
7- the budget eliminates pork barrel spending on NPR, Planned Parenthood, the Legal Services Corp, no more money to be thrown at pseudo-artists, no more to leftists in the Humanities racket.
Yet you are threatening ALREADY? Give me a break.
Total crap.
So you have read it?
Immigration; not happening with the muzzies, been shutdown twice now and really only a 90 ban on 6 countries now which is now shot down. Nothing else has been done. The decrease on the southern border is seasonal. Trust me I have spent 12 years down there on my dime chasing these grass crawling invaders.
THE WALL; Initial, really? They have sent out some bid offers. The fencing that they were going to use from the '96 bill has been scraped and what was not scraped was sent to Iraq and 'stan. And now, the real fun starts and it will turn out like the 90 ban on muzzies if President Trump holds to form. What I am alluding to, when it hits the court system. The wall will shutdown, PERIOD. President Trump will bog smooth down.
Patriots, ok I heard there are quite a few bankers up there but he did make quite a few good pick, two generals are great but a sniveling AG is not good. He gave up before the water even got hot. Not good.
More than that, I am sick and tired of having to put up with the RINO Congress and all the damn Yankees that call themselves Conservatives. It is gotten to a point where it makes me sick every time these liberal yankees spout off how conservative they are.
Trust me though, I want President Trump to succeed but the cards are stacked against him..
Session was one of, if not the, most conservative Senators in the Senate. While I do not think he should have recused himself, it won’t matter since that idiocy has been nuked.
It is ridiculous to cast aspirations on his courage or character.
How is Trump or Congress to blame for judicial insanity?
The initial steps for the wall are getting bid offers as I said. And the judges might stop any wall but why would you blame Trump for that?
It took seventy years to get to this point and the path cannot be reversed instantly. Just removing the Leftist influence from our politics and culture will take decades. Even longer if quibbling “conservatives” start turning their backs on Trump and attacking him. Same goes with splitting the GOP, that is the Democrats greatest goal.
There is no RINO Congress. By definition these Republicans cannot be considered RINO since what they believe and support make up at least 75% of the party. The small group of critics are NOT reflective of the Republican party, this group is truly made up of RINOs.
Even the slightest criticism is amplified a thousand times over by the Fake News outlets. It should be kept private to avoid this.
Ehhhh, then we better hush right now or they might hear us and amplify it a thousand times and we don't want that to happen. It might make make all of us look bad.
I have. Perhaps you can tell me what’s worth defending about it?
There is no law. But there are lots of rumors.
Give the Fake News more weapons to use against conservatism, then.
