In US, about 23 million people would lose health insurance over the next decade under the revised Republican healthcare plan, repealing the Affordable Care Act.<br/><br/>Congressional Budget Office (CBO),a non-partisan agency, said in its analysis that 14 million people would be uninsured in 2018 alone.<br/><br/>It says more consumers would have pared down coverage and many more would face higher deductibles under the bill, which was narrowly approved 217-213 on May 4.<br/><br/>The reports also projected the bill would increase premiums by an average of 15 to 20 percent over a two-year period, but push them 10 percent lower than they would otherwise be by 2026.
