Bernie Sanders vows Obamacare repeal bill 'is never going to pass' in Senate





At a stop in Beverly Hills, Bernie Sanders vows Obamacare repeal bill 'is never going to pass' in Senate

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders on Sunday called the GOP-backed Obamacare repeal bill "one of the most disgusting pieces of legislation ever passed," and called it a "death sentence for thousands" of Americans who may not seek medical care when they get sick.

Speaking to a sold-out crowd of more than 1,500 people at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills, Sanders vowed to help make sure that the bill, which passed the House on Thursday, is "dead in its tracks."

"Let me tell you," he said as the theater erupted in applause. "That legislation is never going to pass the United States Senate."

California Republicans were key to helping narrowly passing the bill in the House. It heads to the Senate next, where it's expected to face several obstacles.
