The Congressional Budget Office score is out, and #Trumpcare will throw 14 million people off insurance by 2018, rising to 24 million by 2026. All for a savings on the deficit $337 billion over 10 years (which is virtually nothing–the US budget for 2015 was $3.8 TRILLION).
Per the CBO:
- Premiums would rise by 15 to 20 percent in the near term
- 7 million people would lose their employer coverage
- Increased deductibles and out-of-pocket costs
- 25% cut to Medicaid by 2026 (still affects states like Texas that didn’t expand Medicaid)
- The monthly health insurance premium for a single 64-year-old who makes $26,500 would jump more than 700% (from $1,700 to $14,600)
