The White House's own internal analysis of the GOP plan to repeal and replace Obamacare show even steeper coverage losses than the projections by the Congressional Budget Office, according to a document viewed by POLITICO on Monday.

The executive branch analysis forecast that 26 million people would lose coverage over the next decade, versus the 24 million CBO estimate — a finding that undermines White House efforts to discredit the forecasts from the nonpartisan CBO.

The analysis found that under the American Health Care Act the coverage losses would include 17 million for Medicaid, six million in the individual market and three million in employer-based plans.

A total of 54 million individuals would be uninsured in 2026 under the GOP plan, according to the White House analysis. That’s nearly double the number projected under current law.

1. That is roughly 1 in 16 people.

And the Republicans are not only okay with it, they are enthusiastic about it.

2. shameful

...all the while insisting reports were false, all the while, knowing full well they would be purging insurance rolls.

3. I thought Obamacare covered appox 20 million...

That means we're going to have 6 million more uninsured than when we started.

Cripes.

4. I'm surprised the WH did any analysis

I'm surprised that this WH even has any staff that are even capable of doing any type of analysis.
