Rep.Ted Deutch Slams Rumored GOP Plan to Bring Modified ‘TrumpCare’ Bill Back to Congress

‘There’s a reason why only 17 percent of the American people that’s a good idea’

EXCERPT:

DEUTCH: "Well, it's hard to see how there is going to be a deal. If you look at -- Chris, look at the way the last deal fell apart. You took a program that's added coverage for tens of millions of Americans and has finally provided some peace of mind to Americans and you try to replace it with a piece of legislation that drove up costs on everyone, that did away with essential health benefits, that gutted Medicaid, that had an age tax that was put in place. There is a reason that when you take away all of those things and you undermine a program that has been helpful to so many, there is a reason that only 17 percent of the American people think that that's a good idea. So if the goal is to take that bad piece of TrumpCare and make it worse, then all you're going to see is those numbers tank even more. No, I don't think so."
