Lawmakers clash over health bill and ACA subsidies
Lawmakers from both parties resist the health bill as the CBO estimates show up to millions losing coverage under current law, while it would cut deficits by 337 billion dollars from 2017 to 2026. The administration challenges the CBO's uninsured numbers and warns future phases may alter outcomes. Republicans rush to unite their fractious caucus amid fears the plan is Obamacare lite and may still entrench entitlements.

Republicans press health bill amid CBO insurance fears
The Congressional Budget Office estimates millions more Americans could lack insurance in 2026 under the House Republican plan. The bill would replace subsidies with tax credits, phasing out Medicaid expansion in many states and facing opposition from Democrats and some moderate Republicans who warn of reduced coverage and higher costs for the middle and working class. House Speaker Paul Ryan touts reduced premiums and tax relief as part of a broader reform agenda.
