Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) said GOP leaders' ObamaCare replacement bill does not reflect the promises President Trump made on the campaign trail.

“That’s not what President Trump promised,” he told CNN Tuesday. "That’s not what Republicans ran on.”

Cassidy added he is concerned by the Trump administration’s attempts to discredit projections from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) about the controversial healthcare reform legislation.

“You have to have an umpire, even if the umpire occasionally gets it wrong, because otherwise you are only accepting analysis by people with motivations [that] define certain answers, and so I am very reluctant to disregard what the CBO score is," he said.

The CBO on Monday projected the number of people without health insurance would grow by 14 million in 2018 under the Republican replacement bill.

The organization added the total number of uninsured people would ultimately reach 24 million by 2026, estimates that were larger than what many analysts predicted.

Democrats have since seized on the predictions as evidence the replacement falls woefully short of Trump’s promise to provide “insurance for everybody” during the 2016 presidential race.

"The CBO score shows just how empty the president’s promises, that everyone will be covered and costs will go down, have been.”

The CBO’s assessment Monday added a new wrinkle to the debate over the ObamaCare replacement bill currently raging within the GOP.

Conservatives have voiced skepticism of several of the bill’s details, with some calling a refundable tax credit for helping people buy insurance is “a new entitlement.”

Monday’s CBO report stirred fresh doubts about whether the legislation is capable of passing, with a possible House vote taking place next week.
