The new report from the Congressional Budget Office found that 14 million people would lose health insurance under the new play next year, with a total of 24 million losing their coverage by 2026. Perez pointed to those numbers as he accused Republicans of ignoring the true repercussions of the bill.

"Donald Trump's 'insurance for everybody' pledge was a big fat lie ... the plan slashes Medicaid, drives up the cost of care for older Americans, and defunds life-saving services provided by Planned Parenthood. The only winners here are Trump, and the corporations and rich people who get to pocket new tax breaks," he said in a statement after the CBO report's Monday afternoon release.

“Of course, instead of admitting that the bill would leave millions without health insurance, Republicans are desperately trying to discredit the CBO with more ‘alternative facts.’ The American people are smarter than that.”

Many of those cuts to coverage come thanks to the cuts to Medicaid, which was expanded under ObamaCare in about 30 states and the District of Columbia. Rising costs for some, specifically seniors, would also prompt them to leave the market all together. But while the CBO predicted that premiums would increase ahead of 2020, the models show that those premiums would decrease after that.

Democratic leaders have piled on the CBO report as they look to kill the bill, known as the American Health Care Act. But Republicans are pointing to the premium savings, as well as deficit reduction and tax relief, as reasons to support the bill.

"Our plan is not about forcing people to buy expensive, one-size-fits-all coverage. It is about giving people more choices and better access to a plan they want and can afford."

Ahead of the release, which was expected to show a drop in Americans insured, many Republicans sought to sew the seeds of doubt about the CBO.

"If you're looking at the CBO for accuracy, you're looking in the wrong place," White House press secretary Sean Spicer said last week.

He added that the office's projections for ObamaCare were "way off the mark."
