Michigan: ANOTHER 8,600 people would lose healthcare coverage if the GOP repeals Obamacare
Last week I crunched the numbers and pointed out that if the Republican Party ever successfully completes repealing the Affordable Care Act, tearing it out "root & branch" as Mitch McConnell is so fond of putting it, that 638,000 Michiganders would lose their healthcare coverage in one shot.
Today, that number has climbed 8,617 higher:

Yup. We're up to over 646,000 Michigan residents who'd be pretty much screwed if the GOP gets its way.
