An estimated 14 million people would lose insurance coverage in 2018 under the new Republican healthcare plan, according to a budget analysis.
The long-awaited Republican plan was assessed by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), a nonpartisan group of budget analysts and economists.
The CBO said the added number uninsured would rise to 24 million by 2026.
President Donald Trump, who backs the new plan, had pledged while campaigning that no-one would lose their insurance.
The CBO reports also found that the bill would reduce the federal deficits by $337bn (£275bn) over the 10-year period.
Those savings could help House Republicans sell the new legislation
