"Fewer people would enroll in the nongroup market because the penalty
for not having insurance would be eliminated and, starting in 2020, because the average
subsidy for coverage in that market would be substantially lower for
most people currently eligible for subsidies. Also, more employers would offer coverage to their
employees because the available nongroup coverage would tend to have higher out-of
-pocket premiums for people currently eligible for subsidies and because the plans would
tend to provide fewer benefits."
Ok, selective extraction of information. Thank you nonetheless for at least going to the source document, but....

"...CBO and JCT estimate that, in 2018, 14 million more people would be uninsured under H.R. 1628 than under current law. The increase in the number of uninsured people
relative to the number under current law would reach 19 million in 2020 and 23 million in 2026 (see Table 4, at the end of this document). In 2026, an estimated 51 million people would lack insurance compared to 28 million insurance that year under current law. Those people would not have a comprehensive major medical policy that would cover high-cost medical events and a range of services.
Although the agencies expect that the legislation would increase the number of uninsured broadly, the increase would be disproportionately larger among older people with lower
income—particularly people between 50 and 64 years old with income of less than 200 percent of the federal poverty level (see Figure 2). Medicaid enrollment would be lower throughout the coming decade, culminating in 14 million fewer Medicaid enrollees by 2026, a reduction of about 17 percent relative to the number under current law (see Figure 3 ). Some of that decline would be among people who are currently eligible for Medicaid benefits, and some would be among people who CBO projects would, under current law, become eligible in the future as additional states adopted the ACA’s option to expand eligibility."
The fact is the government is ripping out subsidies from those that cannot afford insurance and making those over 50 pay up to 5 times what they are currently paying. The plan takes $800 out of the healthcare system and gives it to the wealthiest Americans. By definition, its going to be a weaker program than what we have. The TrumpCare plan, which is contrary to his promises (some people would call that a lie), would make health insurance un-affordable to many Americans and lead to less coverage. Fewer persons having insurance would mean sicker people in the healthcare system, which will cost us all in the end.
Moreover, the insurance that is actually issued will be less robust....
"Although premiums would decline, on average, in states that chose to narrow the scope of EHBs, some people enrolled in nongroup insurance would experience substantial increases in what they would spend on health care."
The whole thing is a sham and an insult to our uneducated electorate.
