Schumer Blasts Senate Republicans Over Healthcare Bill

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer slammed Republicans and their work on a healthcare bill.

Schumer, D-N.Y., went on a tweet tirade against GOP senators for working on a healthcare plan while meeting in secret.

If the GOP continues to insist on ramming thru a secret health care bill without any public input, they shouldn't expect business as usual.

.@SenateDems will work on real, bipartisan solutions. But @SenateGOP is on a dangerous path, crafting this bill in secret.

#Trumpcare is so bad @SenateGOP is trying to switch the blame to Obamacare. It's not true. It won't work.

Last week, President Trump called the @HouseGOP repeal plan, "mean." I couldn't agree more. This healthcare bill IS mean. pic.twitter.com/TRpDBxLysY

Schumer has accused Republicans of hiding their proposed healthcare plan from senators, the Los Angeles Times said.

"They're ashamed of it, plain and simple," Schumer said. "No wonder they don't want to show anyone the bill."
