Schumer Statement on the Latest Republican Healthcare Bill CBO Score

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer today released the below statement following the Congressional Budget Office scoring of the Senate GOP version of Trumpcare:

“The latest CBO report makes clear (once again): no amount of tweaks, modifications or giveaways Senate Republicans make or add to their health care bill can change the fact that the bill is rotten at its core and would leave millions of Americans worse off. The Republican plan would jack up out-of-pocket costs for middle-class families under the guise of lower premiums and deficit reduction – a slippery way to cut off millions of Americans’ access to health care, including Medicaid and destroy the marketplaces. Democrats in the Senate remain eager to work with Republicans to pass real solutions to lower premiums, stabilize the market and improve coverage for millions of Americans.”
