Budget Office Report: GOP Healthcare Repeal Would Strip Insurance from 32 Million People

"The CBO estimated that if Congress votes to repeal the ACA—also known as Obamacare—keeping insurance market reforms in place without implementing a new healthcare law, roughly 18 million people would lose their insurance within the first year, and premiums would rise by 20 to 25 percent for individual plans.  By 2026, the report found, 32 million people would be out of insurance."
