In the United States, the independent report of the Bureau of Congress Budget was awaited on the proposed reform of the American health system. Conclusion: as of 2018, 14 million additional people would be deprived of health insurance. And this figure, already dizzy, could rise to 23 million within 10 years.
Under these conditions, it will be very difficult for the Trump administration to pass its law, while the promise to abrogate and replace Obamacare, the current health care system, was one of the most symbolic of the president's election campaign.
Obamacare had, since 2010, almost halved the number of Americans deprived of health coverage. A profit that could be lost in less than 10 years, since the evaluation of the Bureau of Congress Budget estimates that with the reform proposed by the Trump administration, we will return to the previous figures by 2026.
15% of the population, 50 million Americans, 23 million more than currently, would no longer benefit from health insurance.
In detail, the older would be the most penalized. After 64 years, some would end up paying 8 times more than currently. In return, the government would save $119 billion over 10 years.
In light of these figures, has the law, passed by the House of Representatives just three weeks ago, now has a chance of being passed by the Senate? The Obamacare is far from being a perfect system, Trump does not stop promising its repeal, but it is not so simple. At the beginning of the year, a first text had to be abandoned, for lack of sufficient support of the Republican parliamentarians. Now, with this new version, the social consequences are finally dramatically similar. The savings are even lower.
