As Senate Republicans try to force through their secretive Graham-Cassidy-Heller health care repeal bill, without a CBO score or regular order to allow for hearings and debate, here is a look at some numbers from health care experts that show how truly devastating this would be for Americans across the country:
32 MILLION: As many as 32 million people could lose their health insurance after 2026.
15 MILLION: At least 15 million people would lose their coverage in the next year alone.
$4.1 TRILLION: States are projected to lose as much as $4.1 trillion in federal health care funding over the next two decades.
20%: Average premiums could increase by 20%, if not more, in the next year alone.
$16,174: According to AARP, a 60-year old making $25,000 could have to pay $16,174 more per year for the same coverage they have today.
31%: Federal funding for children who receive Medicaid coverage would be cut by 31% over the next two decades.
15%: –Federal funding for people with disabilities who receive Medicaid coverage would be cut by 15% over the next two decades.
