Similar Stories to Here’s How The Gop Health Care Bill Would Hurt ‘less Healthy People’ on Bing News

The Congressional Budget Office on Wednesday released an analysis of the GOP health care bill that narrowly passed in the House this month, and the projections are not good for people with preexisting conditions. According to the report, the latest version of the American Health Care Act would cause a staggering increase in premium prices for “less healthy people” — including those with preexisting medical conditions — and make it harder for them to purchase insurance. “… Premiums would vary significantly according to health status and the types of benefits provided, and less healthy people would face extremely high premiums, despite the additional funding that would be available under [the AHCA] to help reduce premiums,” the analysis reads. “Over time, it would become more difficult for less healthy people (including people with preexisting medical conditions) in those states to purchase insurance because their premiums would continue to increase rapidly,” the report adds. Should the bill pass in the Senate and be signed by President Donald Trump, CBO’s report projects that 14 million would lose health insurance by next year — that number would climb to 23 million by 2026. The legislation is expected to face a substantial challenge in the Senate.

Fox News host Howard Kurtz said he couldn't defend Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump after Democratic strategist Tim Hogan pointed out that the former president often "slips into lunacy." During a panel discussion on the Fox News Media Buzz program, Hogan pointed to statistics from the conservative Cato Institute that showed "the Biden Department of Homeland Security removed a higher percentage of arrested border crossers in its first two years than the Trump administration did in its last two." Outkick writer Mary Katherine Ham argued that Vice President Harris should be subjected to the same scrutiny as Sen.

Democrats justify their support for the incompetent Kamala Harris by saying she's not Trump. This is pig-stupid.
