Sen. Chuck Schumer said the Republican plan to repeal and replace President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act would disrupt the entire health-care system.
Schumer, a Democrat from New York, likened the Republicans to "the dog who caught the bus," saying that they "don't know what to do." He cautioned Republicans against "plain repeal," saying it would have an immediate impact, particularly on rural hospitals.
"Republicans will soon learn that you can't keep the good parts of the ACA and remove the rest of the law and still have it work. That's what they're struggling with. That's why they're not getting anywhere," Schumer said. "What they would do would throw the entire insurance marketplace into chaos, plain repeal."
Schumer called this debate over how to administer health care in the U.S. the "first big fight of this new Congress."
"Republicans are plotting and will soon be executing a full-scale assault on the three pillars that support the American health-care system: the Affordable Care Act, Medicare and Medicaid. The Republican plan to cut health care wouldn't make America great again, it would make America sick again and lead to chaos instead of affordable care," Schumer said.

Chuck Schumer: Harry Reid! Part Deux
He is full of it
No.
But that's a good thing, the more America sees this loser the better chances Republicans have of winning 60+ seats in 2018
Hey Schmuck, take a look at what's going around all over the country right now... dumbass.
Shaddup Chucky you schmuck!
But...But....we’ve been told forever that the Republicans have NO plan!!
The two enemies of the Republic who made it all possible, all the rest are just mouthpieces selling it.
0bmamacare is working so well, I can’t imagine why anyone would want to change it. /s
Chuck, you can put a bill into the hopper too.
Chuck, the PPACA has just made my situation much worse.
What was somewhat too much for a monthly premium became way too much.
ACA has no ‘good parts’. Get rid of the entire thing.
The only people who benefit are the users who put nothing into the system, many who are able bodied and/or do not report all their income so they get it for free. A raping of the American taxpayer and worker.
Huh?! What the heck is Schumer smoking?
Agreed. The Dems created chaos when they pasted Obamanocare based upon a pack of lies.
It’s Democrat scare time! The only way to administer health insurance is the way we’ve done it the last 6 years!
Otherwise, DOOM!
How ironic since this is what ObamaCare did to the insurance industry when the democRATS jammed their insurance plan (it is NOT healthcare) down the throats of both the medical industry, the insurance industry and the American people.
Tossing Obamacare will allow the health insurance market to recover.
Government interference and mandates created the chaos.
Unfortunately, probably now.
Like McLame he’ll stick around forever. The idiots in NYC will keep voting him in and he will never have the sense to quit.
They’re chasing the good and decent NYers out like crazy, further solidifying the bleak future of NY. The California of the East Coast
Add to tat all government workers
