Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) criticized what he called “Trumpcare” as a proposal with no real home, saying Thursday morning that “no one likes this bill.”

“Hospitals, doctors, governors, conservatives, liberals, non-partisan groups, and most of all, the people who will no longer have affordable health care,” Schumer continued, during a press conference with fellow senators and health care patients.

“So we Democrats are here today to tell our Republican friends: Turn back, drop this irresponsible plan, stop this effort to repeal, and we'll work with you to improve the Affordable Care Act. But Trumpcare is a loser for just about all of America unless you're in the top 1 percent.”

Sen. Angus King (I-ME), who followed Schumer, corrected him: “By the way, it's not only Democrats, it's independents, too, Chuck.”

1. Trumpcare sucks...as does Trump.

2. I am trying to determine what is improved in their bill. Trump said it was going to be the best

I don't think Republicans are capable of creating a health care bill, they work from making health care impossible for anyone but themselves. A heartless bunch of do wrongs.

3. They need to rename it TrumpDoesntCare

5. At least they took the word "affordable" out.

6. It's not health care. It's DonTcare. . . . nt

4. I'm going with "Trumpcare"

Simple, precise, fits on a bumper sticker and is clear about the subject and who is responsible. I usually don't spell his name "Trump" but, just so there's absolutely no confusion, I'm making an exception when referring to any KGOP bill that "replaces" Obamacare.
