- Hassett on healthcare coverage cuts: 'Best way to get insurance is to get a job'</p>

<p>National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said the best way for people to get health insurance is to get a job while discussing the massive tax cut legislation, which dramatically upends health care, signed into law by President Trump.</p>
<p>During an appearance on CBS News's "Face The Nation," Hasset was asked about Americans' concerns that about 12 million Americans could lose Medicaid coverage, according to a report by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).</p>
<p>However, Hasset said that the CBO made a similar claim when the Trump administration aimed to add work requirement waivers to Obamacare in 2017, stating that the number of insured people increased instead.</p>
<p>"The bottom line is, the best way to get insurance is to get a job," he said. "And we've got a 'big, beautiful bill' that's going to create a lot of job creation and a lot of insurance, and the CBO is just not accounting for that."</p>
<p>The bill enacts the country's first-ever requirement for adults under the age of 65 — including low-income parents of children older than 14 — to prove they work, volunteer or attend school at least 80 hours per month.</p>
<p>"The idea that that's going to cause a massive hemorrhaging in availability of insurance doesn't make a lot of sense to us," he said.</p>
<p>Hassett also claimed that 5 million of those who are losing insurance have other insurance, which he says the CBO did not take into account</p>
<p>"They're people who have two types of insurance," he added. "And so therefore, if they lose one, they're still insured."</p>
<p>Hassett insisted that no one will lose their insurance.</p>
<p>"It's sound budgetary politics. And I think that nobody's going to lose their insurance," he said.</p>
