Replacing Obamacare will be left without health insurance more than 50 million people
WASHINGTON, Mar 14 — RIA Novosti. The bill of health, which should replace the current system will allow up to 2026 to reduce the U.S. budget deficit by 337 billion dollars, but without health insurance will remain more than 50 million Americans, the report by the Management of the Congress budget.
Currently, Congress is studying a bill on “American health care” prepared by the Republicans, which is intended to replace the “Affordable health care”, adopted under President Barack Obama in 2010 (the so-called Obamacare). One of the main features of the project is the abolition of compulsory purchase of health insurance and the introduction of some tax benefits and the redistribution of subsidies in this area.
“The adoption of the laws will reduce the Federal deficit by 337 billion dollars for the period 2017-2026… Costs will be reduced by $ 1.2 trillion during the period, and revenues will be reduced by 0.9 trillion”, — the document says.
Explained that the savings will be achieved just by reducing the cost of medical care and subsidies for health insurance under Obamacare law.
As a result, fewer Americans will have health insurance. According to the estimates of management and budget, in 2018, in addition there will be 18 million people and by 2026 this number will be 24 million people. The total number of US citizens without health insurance, in 2026 will reach 52 million people (the US population is currently more than 324 million people).
The price of insurance for individually insured persons in case of acceptance the new law will increase until 2020 and by 2026 will decline by 10% (relative to current prices).
At the same time, Management experts Congress on the budget note that to predict the actions of all participants of the market of medical services in the United States difficult, so the calculation is suggestive.
