I wonder how many f-bombs were dropped at CBO while finalizing no-replace TrumpCare numbers

The Congressional Budget Office has released their nonpartisan analysis of the Republican plan to repeal Obamacare without passing a replacement bill.

Within a decade, 32 million Americans would lose health insurance coverage while premiums would double for individual polices.

The legislative analysis was compiled by the CBO and staff from the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT).

“In CBO and JCT’s estimation, under this legislation, about half of the nation’s population would live in areas having no insurer participating in the nongroup market in 2020 because of downward pressure on enrollment and upward pressure on premiums,” the CBO score warned. “That share would continue to increase, extending to about three-quarters of the population by 2026.”
