'Trumpcare' on a knife edge, new report blunts Senators' resolve

US Republican attempts to rush through President Donald Trump’s beleaguered Obamacare replacement look likely to fail, as the Congressional Budget Office found the bill would deny millions of Americans coverage.

The CBO found there would be 15 million more uninsured people in the short term, due to the removal of the provision which mandates that individuals buy insurance.

Over the next decade, that figure would rise to 22 million. The nonpartisan body also found the bill would slash the country’s current account deficit by a third of a trillion dollars in that time.
