Washington, June 17 (TIWN) US President Donald Trump has announced that he will roll out a new healthcare plan in the next few months.

Mick Mulvaney, director of the Office of Management and Budget, claimed on ABC’s This Week on Sunday that no Americans would lose coverage if Republicans repealed the Affordable Care Act and replaced it with their own plan. Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), who is leading Trump’s health care push, said on Face the Nation that maternity care would be covered.  But nonpartisan analysts expect the opposite. When the Congressional Budget Office looked at the proposed policy, it estimated the plan would cause millions to lose coverage.  The plan would also give states the option to let insurers to return to discriminating against patients with preexisting conditions and allow states to give insurers flexibility in choosing what gets covered (and not covered), like maternity care.
