Dear Democratic Colleague,
Leader Mitch McConnell’s postponing the vote on Trumpcare is a setback for the Republicans and their destructive bill. Again, behind closed doors, they are preparing a new version. And just as Republicans did in the House, there is fear Senate Republicans will make their bad bill worse.

Today, the CBO confirmed that Senate Republicans’ version of Trumpcare is even meaner than the bill that Republicans jammed through the House. Americans with pre-existing conditions would face staggering out-of-pocket costs. Trumpcare would also expose millions of Americans to the dreaded lifetime and annual limits on the care of children and families with serious ailments. Twenty-two million Americans will lose health coverage.

Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement after Senate Republicans released updates to their discussion draft of Trumpcare:
"Republicans keep finding ways to make Trumpcare even more brutal and expensive for America's working families. Trumpcare's new six month lock-out is a prescription for turning families' momentary misfortune into a life-changing catastrophe.
"Tens of millions of hard-working Americans experience a gap in health coverage every year, whether moving, changing jobs, or during an interruption at work. Locking these Americans out of health coverage for six-months would expose millions of families to staggering health expenses. A serious illness or an accident would doom these families to financial ruin at best, and months without treatment at worst.
