CBO's analysis of the House GOP version projects that combined w/GOP letting IRA tax credits expire, ~16M would lose healthcare coverage, almost entirely via ACA exchange + Medicaid expansion populations.
Coverage losses in the Senate version would be even HIGHER.

The visuals really tell the story; unquestionably so with the black and caution icon.
Thank you for putting these together and equipping us to spread the word about what is being proposed.
If the Senate version becomes law, those are now LOW-END estimates.
Another ~19,000 in exchange plans would see MASSIVE (and I do mean MASSIVE) rate hikes, while ~43,000 in Medicaid would have to jump through draconian red tape hoops to remain on the program.
The remaining ~282,000 exchange enrollees would see MASSIVE rate hikes, while the remaining ~380,000 Medicaid expansion enrollees would have to jump thru draconian red tape hoops to remain on the program.
Projected to lose coverage entirely:
Medicaid expansion: ~97,000
ACA exchange plans: ~55,000
Paperwork Hell and/or MASSIVE Rate Hikes:
Medicaid expansion: ~145,000
ACA exchange plans: ~111,000
Projected to lose coverage entirely:
Medicaid expansion: Nearly 2.0 MILLION
ACA exchange plans: ~660,000
Paperwork Hell and/or MASSIVE Rate Hikes:
Medicaid expansion: Nearly 3.0 MILLION
ACA exchange plans: ~1.3 MILLION
