IT'S HERE: The CBO's huge report on the impact of 'Trumpcare' was just released
Jonathan Ernst/Reuters
The CBO projected that as many as 14 million Americans could lose their coverage due to the AHCA.
Critics of the law had been pointing to the CBO score as a way to fully understand the potential impact of the AHCA on the federal budget and the US healthcare system.
The White House and proponents of the AHCA have spent much of the past week casting doubts on the CBO score, in an attempt to blunt the expected blow from the report.
In a press conference last week, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said, "If you're looking at the CBO for accuracy, you're looking in the wrong place." Other White House surrogates like National Economic Council chair Gary Cohn and Office of Management and Budget director Mick Mulvaney criticized the CBO's accuracy in interviews on Sunday.
The AHCA passed the House Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means committees on Thursday, and it is scheduled be considered by the House Budget Committee on Wednesday.
