There will be no CBO report on the impact of Graham-Cassidy on coverage and premiums. But the highly respected independent Commonwealth Fund has come out with some estimates.
Some of the devastating numbers:
1) 32 million lose coverage after 2026
2) 15-18 million uninsured in first plan year (2019)
3) 50% of the US population lives in states that will likely eliminate or reduce protections and essential health benefits. This would include annual/lifetime limits and pre-existing conditions.
And keep in mind that the return of annual/lifetime limits would also affect the 150 million on employer-provided plans.
