Story highlights Speaker Ryan said the CBO score shows his plan accomplishes the mission

Not all Republicans are cheering the CBO's announcement

(CNN) The release of the Congressional Budget Office's scoring of House Republicans' bill to repeal and replace Obamacare did little to settle the roiling political debate.

The House GOP bill would leave 23 million fewer Americans with health insurance by 2026 than under the Affordable Care Act, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday. That figure is similar to the 24 million number from the previous CBO score for legislation pushed by Republicans that was never voted on.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, who in coordination with the White House pushed the GOP proposal through his chamber, said the CBO report says the GOP American Health Care Act helps his party achieve their mission.

"We are on a rescue mission to bring down the cost of coverage and make sure families have access to affordable care," the Wisconsin Republican said in a statement. "This CBO report again confirms that the American Health Care Act achieves our mission: lowering premiums and lowering the deficit. It is another positive step toward keeping our promise to repeal and replace Obamacare."
