Here’s what you should know:
1. In 2018 and 2019, 15 million people would lose insurance coverage, with that number increasing to 21 million by 2026.
2. If subsidies are discontinued, the Graham-Cassidy bill could cost 32 million Americans their insurance after 2026.
3. The study attempted to approximate Congressional Budget Office estimates.
4. The Congressional Budget Office cannot complete a full estimate of the healthcare law’s impact before Congress’ Sept. 30 deadline.
Researchers concluded, “These estimates are, of course, subject to considerable uncertainty, most importantly because predicting how states would respond to the dramatic changes in the policy environment under the Graham-Cassidy proposal is very challenging. What is clear, however, is that the legislation would result in very large reductions in insurance coverage.”
