Elizabeth Warren: GOP Healthcare Plan 'Heartless, Irresponsible'

Minutes after the release of figures pointing to 14 million Americans losing healthcare next year under the GOP's proposed American Health Care Act, Sen. Elizabeth Warren fired off a series of fiery tweets calling the plan a "heartless" legislation Americans should be worried about.

Following the the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office's report on the GOP bill, the Massachusetts Democrat, using examples of people from her state who would suffer if the Affordable Care Act was killed, tweeted:

The budget experts' numbers are in: the GOP #Trumpcare plan will rip health coverage away from 24 million people. https://t.co/sFNLFmNvXo

MA residents have been writing, calling, emailing me – deeply worried about their health care. And they have every right to be worried.

Denise from MA has 3 cancer survivors in her family of 4. Will they be in the 24 million who lose under #Trumpcare, @SpeakerRyan?

Olivia in North Reading has a chronic illness & needs the ACA to stay alive. Will she be in the 24 million, @SenateMajLdr? #Trumpcare

Alan on the South Shore worries about his daughter Meg, who needs Medicaid for her disability. What about her, @realDonaldTrump? #Trumpcare

Throwing 24 million people off their health care to give billionaires a tax break is heartless & irresponsible. We cannot pass #Trumpcare.

Warren's fury echoed that of another Massachusetts politician, Democratic Rep. Joe Kennedy III, who last week struck out at House Speaker Paul Ryan's declaration that dumping the Affordable Care Act in favor of the GOP plan would be an "act of mercy."

"This is not an act of mercy. It is an act of malice," Kennedy declared.
