This is directly from the article you linked above:

"The CBO found that under the Republican plan, insurance coverage would increase by about 3 million and that the percentage of insured non-elderly adults would remain at about 83 percent after ten years. The House bill would increase coverage to an additional 36 million people, raising the number of insured to 96 percent."

I'm no expert, but that seems to me like the house plan (meaning the democrats) insures about 12 times as many people and cover 96% of the people in the country.
