What is in the health care bill that passed in the House? (Adam Cancryn)

from TrumpWatch with Jesse Lent · host WBAI 99.5fm, New York City's Pacifica radio station

Earlier this month, Republicans in the House of Representatives celebrated the passage of a bill that would repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act in a press conference with President Trump on the White House lawn. Yet, in their haste to fulfill years of campaign promises from Republicans in Congress and Trump himself,  Speaker Paul Ryan decided to hold the vote on the bill before the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) had been able to estimate the cost.  When the CBO's analysis was released on Wednesday, it found an estimated 23 million Americans will lose their healthcare over the next 10 years, only 1 million less people left uninsured than the original House bill which Ryan pulled back in March after he reportedly didn't have the votes. In this episode of TrumpWatch, host Jesse Lent discusses the politics and the substance of the Republican plan to overhaul medical policy in the U.S. with Adam Cancyn, a healthcare reporter for POLITICO.
