A Republican legislative proposal may leave at least 8.6 million people without health insurance by 2034, but Democrats have exaggerated the figure to 13.7 million by including other factors. The fate of ACA tax credits is still uncertain, and Republicans are divided on extending them. There is no evidence that President Trump called military nurse Ruby Bradley a "loser" or ordered her service history to be removed from Department of Defense archives.
