Dems plot recess offensive on ObamaCare

Democrats are using the new Congressional Budget Office analysis of legislation repealing and replacing ObamaCare to go on the attack against Republicans over a critical one-week recess.

A recess packet sent to House Democrats encourages lawmakers to hold events highlighting the “terrible consequences” of the House Republican bill to repeal and replace ObamaCare.

Meanwhile, advocates are coordinating events to hold House Republicans accountable for the bill they supported, and to pressure the Senate against doing the same.

“There’s a lot of energy here around the CBO score because it really is, I think, as bad as anyone thought in terms of hitting people with pre-existing conditions, hitting people who have employer-based coverage, 23 million uninsured,” said Igor Volsky, deputy director of the left-leaning Center for American Progress Action Fund.
