998 ArchivesCongressional Budget Office (CBO) released its newest findings on the American Health Care Act and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders was having none of it.
The CBO's latest report notes that 23 million people would lose health insurance coverage within the next ten years thanks to the bill the U.S. House has already passed.
Sanders summed it up in three words.

The CBO's March report on the initial AHCA proposal said 24 million would lose insurance in the same time frame so, progress?
The CBO also found nearly twice as many people would be left uninsured by 2026 as would under the current law, the Affordable Care Act, which was signed by President Barack Obama: "An estimated 51 million people under age 65 would be uninsured, compared with 28 million who would lack insurance that year under current law."
Sanders campaigned on a single-payer health care program during his 2016 bid for president.
Meanwhile, the rest of Congress was dividing itself along partisan lines in the wake of the report.
Democrats lambasted the bill once again on social media.

Paul Ryan noted the report's assessment that the federal budget would be reduced by $119 billion, slightly less than the $150 billion reduction the previous bill was projected to bring -- though the tradeoff is millions of people getting fewer health benefits. He didn't mention that part.
