TrumpCare or McConnellCare? By Any Name the Legislation Will Literally Kill People
The Congressional Budget Office has just released its scoring of the Senate health care plan. It’s bad news for Americans. An additional 22 million people would lose coverage by 2026. That’s 22 million more people than those who do not have coverage today.

President Trump had told Senate Republicans he wanted a plan with more “heart.” It clearly has even less.
