WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-VA), a member of the Senate Budget and Finance Committees, issued this statement following today’s analysis of the Senate Republican health care repeal bill by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office:

“Here’s what we know about the Senate proposal to repeal the Affordable Care Act: Twenty-two million more Americans will be uninsured. Medicaid will be cut $772 billion. And consumers will have less comprehensive coverage than they do now, with higher out-of-pocket costs. 

“Senate Republicans should sit down with us to have a grown-up discussion about fixing what’s wrong with the ACA instead of rushing a vote on a bad plan.”
