Study: Repealing Obamacare Would Double Uninsured Rate By 2019

A study released today by the Urban Institute, a left-leaning Washington think tank, finds that repealing the Affordable Care Act would leave around 60 million people without insurance. That’s more than were uninsured before the law went into effect.
