If Some Americans don't want to buy insurance, let them opt-out. It is their free choice.
Do not insure illegal aliens!
The CBO numbers are always wrong, as if they can predict the future. m/r
Drop in number of insured would result in part because people would opt to go without coverage
By Stephanie Armour and Kristina Peterson Updated March 13, 2017
The number of Americans without health insurance would grow by 24
million under a House Republican proposal to topple most of the
Affordable Care Act, according to a nonpartisan report that is likely to
complicate GOP lawmakers’ efforts to unite around the plan.
The
report, released Monday by the Congressional Budget Office, rattled some
centrist Republicans in the Senate who have said they won’t support
legislation that leaves a large number of people without coverage. House
Republicans hoping to push the legislation through both chambers by
early April
already face a revolt from conservative GOP lawmakers who assert that the proposal doesn’t do enough to roll back the ACA.
The
CBO also found the legislation would reduce the federal deficit by $337
billion over the next decade and would lead insurance premiums to
increase at first, then shrink.
The rise in the number of Americans without coverage
appears to contradict earlier statements by President Donald Trump, who has said everybody would be covered under a new plan.
