Some House Democrats are wearing the pins with the hashtag #ProtectOurCare to the inauguration, according to a spokesman for House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).

"Members wanted to wear a sign of solidarity with the Affordable Care Act at the Inauguration," the spokesman, Drew Hammill said in an email.

GOP lawmakers have already started the process to repeal Obamacare, and Republicans have signaled that it will be one of their first priorities once President-elect Donald Trump takes over the White House.

1. This is not an inauguration

It is a coup, and they shouldn't even be there.

2. Reugs -

first in line to kill granny and anyone else whose jobs don't include insurance.

God, I just hope the Dems have a spine and do not cooperate and do not vote for whatever replacement BS (if any!) that the Repugs come up with. Allowing unlimited medical savings accounts does nothing for those who live paycheck to paycheck, allowing buying insurance across state lines does nothing to provide good coverage, just paying money for basically nothing. That's the Repugs plans, a whole bunch of nada. I still bet they try repeal and delay since they really have no replacement. That's probably just as bad, maybe even worse, because then it will be Obamacare failed you when ins. companies depart in droves. Drumpf, being an idiot who thinks he can fool people by espousing wildly different plans, wants repeal and replace because everyone says repug plan is a total and huge loser. He's so stupid and non-caring he doesn't realize both are horrible and that he will be blamed for what congressional Repugs do, as he should. It's really hard to tell with him, if he this stupid or just that venal that he truly delights in lying and fucking with folks. I think he's both, and either should disqualify him completely from the job.
