Keep in mind that this serial liar also promised a hundred times during the campaign that he would be able to end the war “in 24 hours” with “one phone call” to Putin because he has “a great relationship” with him, “knows just what to say to him,” & “it won’t even be that hard.”

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy

Enacting a House-passed federal budget reconciliation bill could mean millions of people disenrolled from Medicaid & ACA Marketplace coverage, resulting in as many as 11,300 deaths annually, according to a new analysis.
Other provisions could mean a total of 51,000 deaths annually.

I want to emphasize that this is 18,000 avoidable deaths per year *of Medicare enrollees.*
They aren't in CBO's "uninsured" count — they're older people and folks with disabilities on Medicare who won't get extra financial help because of a proposed moratorium on a regulation.

CBO projects that House reconciliation bill will cause 1.38 million low-income Medicare beneficiaries to lose Medicaid coverage
We estimate that this will lead to over 18,000 avoidable deaths per year stemming from loss of drug subsidies

Increasing frequency of eligibility redeterminations, when many states are ill-equipped to use existing data sources to confirm ongoing eligibility, has the same effect: Eligible folks get paperworked out of coverage alongside those who have actually become ineligible.
The policy of work requirements is really a policy of work reporting requirement. This is nuanced distinction but very important. Inevitably, people who are engaged in work will lose healthcare coverage because they failed to properly document or report that activity. This, obviously, is bad.

CBO finds the House bill has $1 trillion in health care cuts and increases the uninsured by 16 million (w/other changes).
How big is this? Compared to 2017 ACA repeal bills, this is larger than "skinny repeal" and up to two thirds the size of full repeal.
Wow.
