Armed with CBO report, AAFP sharply critical of Senate health care bill
AAFP has unleashed a new round of criticism in the wake of the Congressional Budget Office releasing an analysis of the Senate health care bill known as the Better Care Reconciliation Act. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report, released yesterday, states that although the proposed Senate legislation would reduce the cumulative federal deficit by $321 billion by 2026, it would increase the number of people who are uninsured by 22 million in 2026, meaning that an estimated 49 million people would be uninsured that year.
