Press Release
Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement after Senate Republicans announced they will postpone votes on Trumpcare until after the July 4th recess:

"Delaying the Trumpcare vote shows Republicans are feeling the heat from their constituents, and now we must continue to pour on the pressure.

"The battle to defeat Trumpcare is a life-or-death struggle for children and families across America.  However Republicans try to dress it up, Trumpcare fundamentally means higher costs, millions losing coverage, key protections gutted, a crushing age tax, and stealing from Medicare.  With Trumpcare's brutal Medicaid cuts, veterans, seniors in nursing homes, rural communities, and working families will suffer just so Republicans can hand a massive new tax break to billionaires.

"Democrats are all hands-on-deck to defend the American people from Trumpcare.  The organizing and mobilizing of the American people is turning the tide against the heartless monstrosity of Trumpcare."
