Effects on Health Insurance Coverage
To estimate the budgetary effects, CBO and JCT projected how the legislation would change the number of people who obtain federally subsidized health insurance through Medicaid, the nongroup market, and the employment-based market, as well as many other factors.
CBO and JCT estimate that, in 2018, 14 million more people would be uninsured under the legislation than under current law. Most of that increase would stem from repealing the penalties associated with the individual mandate. Some of those people would choose not to have insurance because they chose to be covered by insurance under current law only to avoid paying the penalties, and some people would forgo insurance in response to higher premiums.
Later, following additional changes to subsidies for insurance purchased in the nongroup market and to the Medicaid program, the increase in the number of uninsured people relative to the number under current law would rise to 21 million in 2020 and then to 24 million in 2026. The reductions in insurance coverage between 2018 and 2026 would stem in large part from changes in Medicaid enrollment because some states would discontinue their expansion of eligibility, some states that would have expanded eligibility in the future would choose not to do so, and per-enrollee spending in the program would be capped. In 2026, an estimated 52 million people would be uninsured, compared with 28 million who would lack insurance that year under current law.

it can be passed under a Senate simple majority rule.
Where we all understand now (with the ACA) that delivering more healthcare costs more money (duh), now we can understand delivering less healthcare costs less money.
Both versions make sense considering which party supports the differing healthcare policies and goals.
Why we are Democrats - and they are greedy fucking self-serving dumbasses! 
who are running the puke party--say "no more big gubmint programs". Also, "repeal the tax increases on the wealthy".
Lyin' Ryan dances to their tune.
First by capping it off in 2026, Ryan is able to keep the Baby Boomers out of nursing homes and on their kids couch or in the streets.
Problem solved providing for that Baby Boomers('Dirty Hippies"
surge who the GOP always cites as sooo burdensome on the safety net.
Then every subsequent generation. Everybody gets old, nursing home costs are already prohibitive as is long term care insurance for most. Nursing Homes are what what Medicaid primarily does and, like medicare and social sec, part of our social contract and one of the costs our taxes have always been supposed to be paying for.
I wish Dems and MSM would emphasize that Medicaid primarily goes to paying for nursing home care for grandma & grandpa...average earners and taxpayers all their lives who simply do not have the wealth to pay hundreds of thousands for nursing homes at the end of their lives.
This GOP Bill is not just hundreds of billions of tax breaks to the wealthiest, it is also a sentence of essentially violent death to everyone but the wealthiest 1%. And, who knows, sometimes billionaires loose all their money, so even they might end of a victim of this brutal, sadistic attack and basically the agenda to destroy Medicaid.
living and dying with no medical care.
The road to that will be rough but they are girding their loins to force this on the country.
Congrats, idiot dump voters, for bringing back the Dark Ages.
