The current version of the bill is estimated to add about $3.3tn (Ā£2.4tn) to the US deficit over the next 10 years, despite an initial economic boost,
according to estimates from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) - the government agency which provides independent analysis of spending.

Analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) - an independent health policy research group - found that
the bill would cut $1tn from future Medicaid spending over the next 10 years.
The CBO estimates that nearly 12 million Americans would lose health insurance by 2034 under the terms of the Senate bill - with just 1.4 million of these being people "without verified citizenship, nationality, or satisfactory immigration status".
3. "If it's not approved, your taxes will go up by 68%," donald
The Tax Policy Center estimates that not extending tax cuts introduced under Trump in 2017 would lead
to a hike of 7.5% on average.
"The 68% figure is incorrect⦠It could be roughly drawn from a count of taxpayers that would see an increase in taxes, as opposed to an estimate of the actual tax increase," says Elena Patel, a tax policy expert and assistant professor at the University of Utah's business school.
Overall, the tax changes in the bill would benefit wealthier Americans more than those on lower incomes, according to the Tax Policy Center analysis. About 60% of the benefits would go to those making above $217,000
