Pressure: Trump to campaign for GOP health-care bill in Rand Paul’s home state of Kentucky next Monday
A copy of the CBO report on the bill is available here: http://n.pr/2mDe2bP
The Congressional Budget Office estimates the GOP health care bill would reduce the federal deficit by $337 billion between 2017 and 2026.
It also estimates that 14 million fewer people would have health insurance by 2018, compared to current law.
That number could jump to 24 million by 2026 under the Republican health care bill, according to the CBO.
