‘Thousands of Americans will die’: Bernie Sanders uses CBO report to slam GOP’s ‘immoral’ health care plan

ermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) ripped into the proposed GOP health care plan, citing a U.S. Congressional Budget Office report that stated millions will lose coverage under the replacement to Affordable Care Act.

According to The Hill, Sanders said the replacement plan would be responsible for unnecessary deaths.
