Dr. Ruiz Slams American Health Care Act After Revised Nonpartisan Analysis

Statement

Today Representative Raul Ruiz, M.D. (CA-36) released the following statement after the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) announced their score of the revised American Health Care Act that passed the House last month.

"Today's revised CBO score confirms that the American Health Care Act is devastating to people across the country. 14 million more will be uninsured within a year and 23 million more will be uninsured over a decade. It explains in dire terms how this bill will shift the burden of costs onto seniors, working families, and patients with pre-existing conditions, hitting hardest the people who need care the most, while giving tax breaks to millionaires. This is far too great a toll on the American people."

The Congressional Budget Office is a nonpartisan and independent agency that provides analyses of proposed legislation.
