The CBO score of Republican proposal proves insurance companies aren't interested in new customers
CBO and JCT estimate that those provisions would increase federal budget deficits by about $8 billion over the 2010-2019 period, reducing the number of nonelderly people without health insurance by about 3 million in 2019 and leaving about 52 million nonelderly residents uninsured. The share of legal nonelderly residents with insurance coverage in 2019—83 percent—would be roughly in line with the current share.

The GOP and health insurance companies want to maintain the status quo.

2. Yes they are, and this
destroys the claim that insurance companies love the bill because of the mandate.
