WASHINGTON -- A Republican repeal on the current US health care system would leave 32 million Americans uninsured by 2026, a new report from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) said Wednesday.

The CBO estimated the number of people who are uninsured would increase by 17 million in 2018 if the Affordable Care Act, also known as the Obamacare, were to be repealed without a substitute.
