14 million Americans are expected to lose their health insurance coverage in 2018 under the new Republican Health Care Plan, according to an analysis by the Senate Budget Office.

The new plan was evaluated by an independent nonpartisan group of analysts under the supervision of the US Budget Office.

The number of Americans outside the health insurance umbrella will rise to 24 million by 2026, the office said.

The new US health insurance plan is expected to cut the federal budget by $ 337 billion in 10 years.

Republicans are counting on a budget cut to this value as a basis for promoting their health care plan, which was designed as an alternative to the affordable health care bill (called the Opamaker). The bill is to be passed into legislation by a law called the US Health Care Act Legislation.

But some conservative politicians still have doubts about the cost of the plan.

The report, prepared by the Senate Budget Office in cooperation with a joint committee of the US Tax Authority, revealed that five million people would enjoy health insurance coverage under the Medicaid program for low-income people by 2018.

This number is expected to rise to 14 million by 2016, as well as raising the health insurance coverage of about 52 million Americans and ending the health insurance coverage of some 28 million people who benefited from the Obamaker program under the Health Care for All Act.

Paul Ryan, chairman of the House of Representatives of the Republican Party, addressed the findings of the analysis of the budget office of the US Senate, focusing on reducing the federal budget deficit, and reduced premiums paid by beneficiaries.

"I recognize the concerns of some about ensuring that people have access to the insurance coverage needed to receive health care services, and I appreciate those concerns," he said.

"We strongly disagree with the findings of the budget office's analysis of the number of people losing health insurance coverage," said Tom Price, Health and Human Services Minister.

"The current law guarantees health insurance coverage for many, but if it provides them with health care."

In contrast, California State Democratic Representative Adam Schiff described the figures cited by the budget office as "horrific."

"Now we just know why President Ryan wants to pass the bill quickly," he said. "He says it will bring out 24 million health care coverage over the next 10 years," he said.

Don Bayer, a Democratic member of the House of Representatives from Virginia, described the figures as "catastrophic".
