The result would be 51 million Americans without health insurance by 2026, compared with 28 million under current law. The House-passed bill would effectively reverse all of the Affordable Care Act’s coverage expansion, which pushed the uninsured rate to a historic low. Health insurance premiums for young adults generally would come down, in part because policies would be less comprehensive. The House-passed legislation would reduce the number of people with health coverage by just 1 million fewer than the earlier legislation. The House bill would do that, and now it’s up to the Senate to consider, modify or rewrite that legislation.
