And to absolutely no one's surprise, the CBO found that the bill is a stinking piece of shit.
Hands-down, NARAL had the best response to the report:
Pretty effective CBO score statement from @NARAL's press office pic.twitter.com/lBcqfdRoFB

We're not kidding. This really is our official statement. https://t.co/Ym3J6Wh0PH

If you can't view the image embedded in the tweet, it's a photo of a literal dumpster fire.
I don't know what I can say that I haven't already said countless times. The Republican Party are a bunch of fucking ghouls. I don't know what could better illustrate the depth of their depravity than this response to the CBO from "moderate" Republican Senator Lindsey Graham:
With today's news, the 'Collapse and Replace' of Obamacare may prove to be the most effective path forward.
— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) May 24, 2017
What Graham is advocating here, in case it isn't clear, is doing everything they can to ensure that the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) fails so they can then justify replacing it.
They refuse to work with Democrats on fixing the ACA to make sure it works and to expand access for people who still aren't covered. And they refuse to do that for no other reason than because they don't want President Obama's signature initiative to be a success.
The Republican Party will let people die in order to deny Obama a deserved legacy of expanding healthcare access.
If that doesn't convey precisely the scope of the Republican Party's obscene contempt for the people of this nation, I can't imagine what would.
