White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer admitted today that millions of American will lose their health insurance as a result of the the Republican health care repeal bill also known as TrumpCare.
Watch the exchange:
Jim Acosta: A follow up on coverage, you were saying that people if they can’t get access to insurance they don’t have coverage –
Sean Spicer: Right –
Acosta: But if you remove the individual mandate you are going to have people who are not going to buy that coverage they are not going to buy insurance and so getting back to the Congressional Budget Office score, would you concede that they will be some coverage losses, perhaps in the millions, that there will be millions of people who will not have health insurance as a result of what you are doing?
Spicer: Well again, sure.
