GOP's Obamacare Repeal Cuts Insured by 32 Million, CBO Says
A Republican fallback plan to repeal all of Obamacare without a replacement health program would lead to 32 million more people uninsured than under current law, the Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday. That’s about 10 million more uninsured than the estimated 22 million people who wouldn’t be covered under a previous Senate Republican bill to replace many parts of Obamacare. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said the Senate may vote on the measure as soon as next week, though support for it is uncertain.The full-repeal proposal is called the Obamacare Repeal Reconciliation Act.

President Trump says the effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, which is commonly referred to as Obamacare, is not dead.
In a tweet Saturday afternoon, Trump said, “Unless the Republican Senators are total quitters, Repeal & Replace is not dead!”
He also appeared to call on GOP senators to demand another health care vote before tackling any other legislation.
Unless the Republican Senators are total quitters, Repeal & Replace is not dead! Demand another vote before voting on any other bill!

An effort to undo Obamacare ended early Friday when Senator John McCain joined Senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski in voting against the so-called skinny repeal measure.
Trump’s afternoon attempt at persuading Republican lawmakers to continue with the repeal fight wasn’t his only tweet of note on Saturday.
In the morning, he took to the social media platform to rail against the Senate’s filibuster rule.
