WASHINGTON (AP) — House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi is calling on members of her caucus to begin the new Congress by highlighting the risks of repealing the health care law.

In a letter to Democratic colleagues late Wednesday, Pelosi said 2016 has been a difficult year for the country and that House Democrats “stand ready to fight vigorously for America’s hard-working families.”

Pelosi asked the lawmakers to hold press events in early January to tell voters about Republican plans to repeal the law, called the Affordable Care Act, at the beginning of the year.

Republicans will begin work immediately next year toward repealing the health care law. Some Republicans, including Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Health and Human Services Department, have also sought to overhaul Medicare.

2. Well, since they all ran away from it to begin with

I wish her the best of luck. Anything that the government does to assist anyone other than the ruling class is a heavy lift regardless of party affiliation these days. But boy, you want some action, watch how quickly the tax cuts for the ruling class get passed, with plenty of Democratic support.

Sorry, I've given up.


Peace
