#1 The CBO says "5 million are projected to "lose" Medicaid expansion coverage in states that never expanded The CBO says Medicaid in the first place. Another 7 million are projected to "lose" Medicaid coverage because the individual mandate goes away, even though the individual mandate does not apply to almost all of those currently on or eligible for Medicaid."

I thought SCOTUS decided to scrap the individual mandate for the ACA. It was never a part of Medicaid as stated above.

If you are suspicious of the CBO projections, here some more of which to be suspicious. CBO Projections for Healthcare Plans.
