A new national ad is slamming Republicans for including a "sneaky repeal" of ObamaCare in tax reform legislation.

In the ad, pro-ObamaCare group Save My Care urges voters to call their members and ask them to vote no on tax reform.

"President Trump and Republicans in Congress are ignoring bipartisan opposition and trying to sneak health care repeal into their tax plan," says the ad's narrator. "Why? To pay for more tax breaks for billionaires and corporations."

The Senate GOP's tax bill, which passed the Finance Committee Thursday evening, includes a repeal of ObamaCare's individual mandate.

1. Heard on NPR today

I have not yet searched to confirm the claim that there will be an automatic reduction in medicare to compensate for the loss in tax revenue in the current version of the plan. We must contact our local representatives to demand they just say no to this give away to corporations and the top 1 percent.
