stanley cup ry analysis released Monday by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office CBO and the Joint Committee on Taxation JCT .There are three reasons the CBO cites for the reduction in covered Americans:Enrollment in Medicaid would be substantially lower because of the large reductions in funding;Nongroup coverage enrollment woudl drop because of reductions in subsidies; andEnrollment across the board would be lower because of the repeal of the mandates and penalties for not having insurance.CBO projects that the decrease in the number of insured people would be particularly large starting in 2020.
