The number of Americans without health insurance jumped by nearly 2 million in the year after President Donald Trump took office -- the first time in a decade that there has been a year-to-year increase, according to federal data released Tuesday.
"President Trump's cruel health care sabotage has left 2 million more people without health insurance, forced to live in constant fear of an accident or injury that could spell financial ruin for their families," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. That potential drop in Medicaid and CHIP enrollments is likely due to an improved economy and that some of those people no longer qualify, he said. Worth noting, too, is that those 1.6 million Americans no longer enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP aren't necessarily going without insurance or health care, he said.In an interview with ABC News last June, Trump called the current health care law a"disaster" and said he would revamp it if the GOP regained a majority in the House.
