Republican leaders and President Donald Trump celebrated a legislative victory Thursday as the House passed the American Health Care Act, which, if it clears the Senate and is signed into law, will repeal former President Obamas signature achievement, 2010s Affordable Care Act.
But the reaction was substantially different in Hollywood, as celebrities took to social media Thursday afternoon to voice their displeasure with the new bill and to urge fellow liberals to donate to Democratic politicians ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.
Politically outspoken celebrities including Katy Perry, Amy Schumer, John Legend, George Takei, and Mark Ruffalo all tweeted about the bill, while TV personality Andy Richter called House Republicans soulless pimps and comedian Patton Oswalt vowed to make the 2018 midterm election a dawn-to-dusk nightmare for the GOP.
The American people are coming for all of you, tweeted Beauty and the Beast star Josh Gad.
Below, see Hollywoods reaction to the House passage of the American Health Care Act.

Well, if these amoral people are mad, then President Trump and the GOP must be doing something right!
“Fk all y’all”?
Naw, Fk all y’all.
Country boy can survive...
Spit some Beechnut in yer eye...
The Hollywood elite should be celebrating along with 0bemba. The ‘new’ law maintains a fed presence in the health-care industry. There is still socialized medicine in the USA.
It is not time for conservatives to be celebrating.
All the special people.....bless their hearts
“Why do they care?”
It’s called virtue signaling. Used to be called “holier than thou hypocrites”
FYI
I couldn’t care less what these so-called celebrities think. Their opinions matter no more and no less than anyone else on the street.
Are we to assume that all these Airheads have actually read and comprehended the Legislation?
The most astounding thing for me is that normal people, who are uninformed and ignorant of the facts are just now realizing and verbalizing the fact that Obamacare is not now, nor has it ever been "insurance," although that word was constantly misapplied to Obamacare.
Even more remarkably, some conservative talking heads, who should have known better, are only now verbalizing the obvious, that Obamacare spreads the expense of the cost of existing illnesses, among everyone who are to participate, and also to pay all of the cost of the care for people who can't afford it all, which is also an obvious permanent and new massive and permanent welfare entitlement!
Something I have been shouting about since 2009.
This reminds me of the absurd opinion by the presumptuous and arrogant social agitators and elected criminals, who parrot endlessly that, that's not who we are!
Who died and made them Deputy Gods with the power to casually dismiss our Constitution?"
It was going to under.
What do these twits know about anything?
Good gravy, you put them in front of a camera for ten minutes, and the next thing you know they think they are a god.
Screw these wankers.
Ahhh.
Excellent summary of the mess called Obama Care.
The cost of this monster is incredible. The savings by what has been done and if approved by the Senate is shown below:

The American Health Care Act (HR 1628) passed by the House today reduces taxes on the American people by over $1 trillion. The bill abolishes the following taxes imposed by Obama and the Democrat party in 2010 as part of Obamacare:
-Abolishes the Obamacare Individual Mandate Tax which hits 8 million Americans each year.
-Abolishes the Obamacare Employer Mandate Tax. Together with repeal of the Individual Mandate Tax repeal this is a $270 billion tax cut.
-Abolishes Obamacares Medicine Cabinet Tax which hits 20 million Americans with Health Savings Accounts and 30 million Americans with Flexible Spending Accounts. This is a $6 billion tax cut.
-Abolishes Obamacares Flexible Spending Account tax on 30 million Americans. This is a $20 billion tax cut.
-Abolishes Obamacares Chronic Care Tax on 10 million Americans with high out of pocket medical expenses. This is a $126 billion tax cut.
-Abolishes Obamacares HSA withdrawal tax. This is a $100 million tax cut.
-Abolishes Obamacares 10% excise tax on small businesses with indoor tanning services. This is a $600 million tax cut.
-Abolishes the Obamacare health insurance tax. This is a $145 billion tax cut.
-Abolishes the Obamacare 3.8% surtax on investment income. This is a $172 billion tax cut.
-Abolishes the Obamacare medical device tax. This is a $20 billion tax cut.
-Abolishes the Obamacare tax on prescription medicine. This is a $28 billion tax cut.
-Abolishes the Obamacare tax on retiree prescription drug coverage. This is a $2 billion tax cut.
As a presidential candidate in 2008, Barack Obama had promised repeatedly that he would not raise any tax on any American earning less than $250,000 per year. He broke the promise when he signed Obamacare. With the passage of the House GOP bill, tens of millions of middle income Americans will get tax relief from Obamacare’s long list of tax hikes.

We should be so lucky!
Many years ago, in saner times, these freaks, these "entertainers," were travelers; constantly moving from place to place, because they were deemed unworthy of living among normal, decent and honest folk.
They were allowed to come into town or city to entertain, to amuse, but come nightfall, they were ALL required to spend the night outside the walls of the cities and towns.
This deserved tradition lasted hundreds of years, to be abandoned at society's obvious detriment.
Not surprisingly, uneducated, ignorant, rough "entertainment" types back then NEVER became delusional.
I would bet not a single one has read it. They have no idea what is in it.
None of these celebs pay for anything.
Someone else pays. They also are known to pay the help very little and expect them to be on call 24/7
Just a night at a Holiday Inn express and they will know it by osmosis.
No sense throwing the baby out with the bathwater!
Just about every decent, satisfying and rewarding movie ever made is available to new generations to enjoy and learn from.
Hundreds (thousands?) of films made before the male and female perverts, the sodomites, led the long slide to the bottom of that pit which is the natural habitat of the worst perversions and environment of human nature.
