"Exaggeration"?
If the Republican bill is passed as-is, then 13.7 million will lose health coverage. That's what CBO said, the result of 7.7m from the GOP bill, 4.2m from tax credits GOP isn't extending, and 1.8m from a Trump marketplace rule GOP isn't rescinding or modifying.
13.7m. It's a fact.

In the first 15 minutes of the E&C markup, the number 13.7 million uninsured has already come up twice. It's an exaggeration of what the GOP bill would do. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/u...

The times coverage is this bad.
Many people will die. That's enough reason to stop them.
Period.
Would be nice if they would stop swallowing GOP lies, but they just love that sugar high.
Hard to accept anything more than this NYT reporter is just lying.
9 million or 13 or 16 million is still millions of people being needlessly harmed to benefit wealthy people.
It's like after WikiLeaks dropped HRC's emails, the NYT focused on the content of the stolen emails, NOT the illegal theft that was incidentally called for by her criminal opponent
They don't miss a chance to frame Dems as wrong, no matter how dishonest, while ignoring MAGA lawlessness
Fuck you @sangerkatz.bsky.social !
I ignore it and hope low-info voters do as well. Ofc if they watch Fox et al all bets are off bc they're actively choosing disinformation
Are they hiring "journalists" from the Federalist?
Steer Clear of Deeper Cuts?
Compared to what?
And I think there’s plenty of uncertainty about what provisions will pass and how many people are going to lose health care coverage, so your “real number” phrase needs context
She's dead wrong here. If R's can use it in their projections, which they are, so can Dem's.
