In Florida, One of Every 10 Residents Will Likely Lose Their Insurance

     "If a small Senate working group gets its way, 22 million Americans – a population two-thirds the size of Canada's and just a tad smaller than Australia's – will lose health coverage by 2026. The Republican strongholds of North Carolina, Oklahoma and Florida will be hardest hit by the coverage cutbacks. More than 13 percent of North Carolina's population will likely lose insurance coverage, the data indicate. In Oklahoma and Florida, one of every 10 residents will likely lose their insurance."
     "These calculations offer a window into the statewide impact of the health reform plan drafted by a handful of Republican senators. They were derived from national projections by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, which also found that the bill – now on hold until after the July 4 recess – would hike health care costs for "most people" in the U.S. It would dramatically increase out-of-pocket costs and would price comprehensive health coverage beyond many people's reach. It would allow states to waive insurers' obligations to cover critical health services for the elderly, women, people with chronic diseases and those with preexisting conditions."
