Warren goes on tweetstorm over GOP ObamaCare repeal bill
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) went on a tweetstorm Tuesday railing against GOP plans to repeal and replace ObamaCare, saying the proposal comes back to life “more often than the lead zombie in a horror movie.”
The tweets came after Senate Republicans announced they are delaying a vote to advance their repeal bill,after a number of members said they opposed it. A procedural motion on the bill won’t happen until after the July 4 recess.
But let’s be clear: The Republicans’ so-called “healthcare” bill comes back to life more often than the lead zombie in a horror movie.

Warren tweeted that she’s “deeply relieved” the vote was delayed but because Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) says he’ll get the votes he needs, “it’s still up to us.”
I’m deeply relieved that @SenateMajLdr delayed a vote on the @SenateGOP‘s bill to rip health care away from 22 million Americans.

.@SenateMajLdr says he’ll get the votes he needs to repeal the Affordable Care Act. It’s still up to us.

A Congressional Budget Office score on Monday found the Senate bill would leave 22 million more people without insurance compared to present law over the next decade.
We must keep fighting to save the Affordable Care Act & improve healthcare for American families.
