How Many Stand to Lose Health Insurance Under GOP Repeal Bll? Paul Ryan Doesn't Know.
March 12, 2017
On CBS' Face the Nation, this morning, Speaker Paul Ryan was asked how many people stand to lose health insurance under the Republicans' "Pay More For Less" repeal bill:
Dickerson: "How many people are going to lose coverage under this new [bill]?"
Ryan: "I can't answer that question. It's up to the people."
Mr. Speaker, let us help you out here -- an initial estimate from the Brookings Institution released last week shows that more than 15 million Americans stand to lose health insurance if Republicans repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.
