He told Fox News that the reason numerous 14 million Americans who would lose coverage when the bill takes effect in 2018 is not because they won’t be able to afford it, but because the mandate requiring people to be insured will go away.

A recent report from the Congressional Budget Office says 14 million people could lose their coverage by 2018 – 24 million people by 2026.

Democrats say the Republican plan could hurt the elderly, poor and working families while giving tax cuts for the rich. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called it “a wreck”.

It was apparent Republicans did not confer with any real Americans who struggle with paying monthly health insurance premiums.
