Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget: 21M Americans to lose health insurance with Trump's healthcare plan

A Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget analysis found nearly 21 million Americans would lose health insurance coverage with Donald Trump's healthcare plan, according to The Hill.

Here are three insights:

1. The analysis found Mr. Trump's plan would cost $270 billion over 10 years.

2. Mr. Trump's plan calls for the elimination of the Affordable Care Act, which the analysis finds, "would both add to the deficit and significantly reduce coverage."

3. Repealing the ACA would cost $200 billion over the next 10 years, with Mr. Trump's plan adding $70 billon in additional costs. His plan would use $100 billon to create the tax deduction for insurance premiums. Only $30 billion would offset that sum by permitting payers to sell plans across state lines and allow foreign countries to import less costly prescription drugs.
