Republicans are trying very hard to disguise what the American Health Care Act would actually do.

They keep insisting their bill, which would repeal the Affordable Care Act , would lower premiums and improve access to quality, affordable care, as House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) put it last month .

Any time analysts point out the ways in which those promises are misleading or false or cite the Congressional Budget Office prediction that the AHCA would leave about 24 million people without health insurance Republicans insist that a combination of new tax credits, state innovation, and so-called high-risk pools will take care of people better than the current system does.

This is not true. And perhaps the clearest evidence is in those CBO numbers.
