Schumer: There Was an ‘Outcry’ over Repealing ObamaCare Because ‘It’s Working’

‘ObamaCare is working for millions of people’

RUSH EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: "Well, again, ObamaCare is working for millions of people. That's why there was such an outcry when this he decided to repeal it. Can it be improved some? Of course. We've always said that. Once Republicans are taking repeal off the table, we're willing to work with them to improve T. But it's far better to have it than not have. 23 million people covered, preexisting conditions covered, college kids taken care of, women's care, seniors getting taken care of. That's why the public was on our side. Last polls I saw, 57% against TrumpCare rather keeping and improving ACA. We're willing to work with them, but they've got to take repeal off the table. You know, it was very easy for seven years for them to decry this. But I will say this. You know, there were two problems, two reasons, this failed that President Trump failed. One is incompetence. I've never seen such incompetence. They put together a bill that doesn't have the support of so many of their own party, nobody, hardly anybody on the outside supported it."
