CBO score adds to difficult math for the Senate health bill

Season 2017 Episode 1084 | 6m 09s

The Senate GOP’s health care bill would lead to 22 million more uninsured Americans by 2026, according to a Congressional Budget Office analysis released Monday. That’s slightly better than the CBO score for the House version of the bill. But there's a rising tide of opposition that may make it difficult to get it passed. Lisa Desjardins and Julie Rovner of Kaiser Health News join John Yang.
