WASHINGTON — The GOP health care bill would
insure 23 million fewer people than current law after a decade, while
potentially impacting many with pre-existing conditions, according to
the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.
The bill would spend $1.1 trillion less on
health care and use the savings primarily to finance large tax cuts for
high-income earners and medical companies. Overall, it would reduce
deficits by $119 billion over ten years.
While some Americans would see lower premiums,
CBO concluded that many people with pre-existing conditions would no
longer be able to afford insurance and that many who received coverage
would pay thousands of dollars more in out-of-pocket expenses.
