Obamacare replacement plan "dangerous," top Democrats say.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi slammed a leaked draft plan to repeal and replace Obamacare, saying it cuts coverage and amounts to a tax break for the wealthy.

"While Republicans hide from their constituents, they are moving down an increasingly cruel path to raise taxes on middle-class families and dismantle Americans' right to affordable health care," she said Friday.

Pelosi's statement comes a few hours after leaked draft legislation was released by Politico Friday. The draft, dated Feb. 10, would cut Obamacare's mandates and taxes and pay for a replacement by capping tax breaks on employer-sponsored health plans.

"The latest Republican reconciliation bill will result in millions of Americans losing their health coverage and shorten the life of the Medicare Trust Fund," Pelosi said

Nancy, NOBODY belies that “Republicans hide from their constituents.”

Your Democrat mobs aren’t fooling anybody.

No, no, and no to these liberal idiots. Conservative Republicans are trying to cut taxes on middle-income families! Repeal Obamacare, let the free market blossom and middle-income families will be free to buy insurance at free market prices, far lower than the fiasco that Obama and Democrats forced on us via higher taxes, penalties and hiked premiums, all as a giveaway to low-income deadbeats.
Repeal Obamacare, and let the chips fall where they may. Obama’s fault for any crisis that ensues.

Why should Nancy be allowed to see what’s in it? Didn’t she author the rule that you have to vote for it before you can see what’s in it??

Good point. She didn’t care what was in the ACA, only that her party was for it.

"So you've got this crazy system where all of a sudden 25 million more people have health care and then the people who are out there busting it, sometimes 60 hours a week, wind up with their premiums doubled and their coverage cut in half. It's the craziest thing in the world."

That’s why it was “ leaked”
So democrats could keep attacking
Someone should leak a new version that has unicorns crapping skittles and protect the real version for a legislative slam dunk

More lies from the people that defrauded the American people with their blatant claims of you can keep your plan, you can keep your doctor, nothing will change for you, and your premiums will go down by $2,500 and it will bend down the cost curve.

If Pelosi is against it, it must be really good for us.
