#4 According to the latest available census figures:

In 2015, the percentage of people without health insurance coverage for the entire calendar year was 9.1 percent, or 29.0 million, lower than the rate and number of uninsured in 2014 (10.4 percent or 33.0 million).

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced Tuesday that the Republicans replacement plan (which according to the CBO) would leave an estimated 22 million more without health insurance by 2026.

Does this mean that 22 million people would lose crappy health care insurance over the current estimate of 29 million uninsured? In other words, 51 million people would be uninsured? Are we back to where we started before the Dems started this costly albatross?
