Sen. Coons’ statement on new analysis of Trumpcare’s devastating impacts

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.) released the following statement in response to the release of the CBO Report on the American Health Care Act of 2017:

"The Congressional Budget Office's estimate made clear what we already knew: Trumpcare would greatly harm millions of Americans and their families," said Senator Coons. "Under Trumpcare, by 2018, 14 million more Americans would be uninsured, and by 2026, that number would rise to 23 million Americans. President Trump promised that he would get Americans better coverage at a lower cost, but this analysis shows that his promises were empty. Plain and simple, Trumpcare would put health care out of reach for millions of people and would be harmful to Delawareans. I will fight against this bill but still stand ready to work with my colleagues on a bipartisan approach to improving the ACA."
