Pence campaigns for GOP health bill in Florida

"President Trump will give the American people the freedom to buy health insurance across state lines, the way you buy life insurance or car insurance," he said.

The Republican health care plan would undo much of the health care law passed under President Barack Obama, including Medicaid expansion and the imposition of tax penalties for people who don't buy insurance.

In a review of the legislation released this week, the Congressional Budget Office estimates 24 million people would lose health care under the GOP plan.

"A true block grant would end the guarantee of affordable comprehensive health care for millions of Florida's children, people with disabilities, pregnant women and seniors in long term care who rely on Medicaid," said Joan Alker, executive director of the Georgetown Center for Children and Families, in an email.
