WHAT IS CORRECT?

The talking point has been... 22 million uninsured. According to what I had heard somewhere and what I have read on CBS that isn't right. I've read in 2018, 14 million more would be uninsured. That number would 'increase' by 21 million in 2020. Then they say another 24 million in 2026. That would bring the total in 2026 to 52 million. They appear to be quoting the CBO. The ACA in the same time would show 28 million. So, who is correct? A more honest answer would mention the cascade of uninsured as time go on if those numbers are correct. Not letting people think they can kick another can down the road but what would begin to happen next year would be less cruel.
