Here is what the CBO said ...the reason some people will not be insured after Trumpcare passes...
CBO Reports 14 Million to Lose Coverage, But Leftists Are Leaving Out THIS Critical Detail...
They’re claiming 14 million Americans would lose coverage. They won’t; not unless you can decide to lose something voluntarily.
They’re also claiming the report flies in the face of President Trump’s claim that any replacement plan would provide “insurance for everybody,” as he said. Maybe he should have said “insurance for everybody who wants it,” because one of the hallmarks of the GOP plan is supposed to choice.
-----
So the press is reporting that people might choose not to buy something if they’re no longer forced to as huge news. And it’s not.
What is important to understand is that the “individual mandate” in Obamacare is directly tied to the requirement that insurers accept people with pre-existing conditions. If the mandate disappears, insurance companies say the pre-existing conditions clause won’t work.
