Nadler blasts latest GOP effort to repeal Obamacare
Calls Graham-Cassidy bill ‘desperate, last gasp’ move
As the latest Republican Party effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) appeared to be gaining momentum in the U.S. Senate, an outspoken Brooklyn lawmaker has come out against the GOP’s move.
U.S. Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-parts of Bensonhurst, Bay Ridge) said he is opposed to the Graham-Cassidy health care repeal bill, calling the proposed legislation the GOP’s “cruelest plan yet.”
The Graham-Cassidy bill, sponsored by U.S. Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) and Bill Cassidy (R-Louisiana), would overhaul the Affordable Care Act (ACA) by taking the decision making power over health care coverage away from the federal government and putting it into the hands of the states through a block grant system.
