•    More than 165 million individuals would be subjected to lifetime coverage limits.
•    About 16 million could have their insurance dropped at any moment.
•    Forty-four million seniors would be charged a co-pay for preventive services.

The release will also include a state-by-state breakdown of the effects of a repeal.
