CBO: Big Beautiful Bill Strips Health Coverage from 10 Million Americans

The Congressional Budget Office released its official score of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, estimating it would cause 10.3 million Americans to lose health insurance coverage over the next decade.

Senate Democrats used the score to mount procedural challenges under reconciliation rules.
