House Republicans rushed to get to the floor a bill that will take away health care from 23 million Americans. No hearings, no CBO score.

Senate Rs are now doing the same, drafting a bill in secret behind closed doors. Textbook case of process designed to fail American people.

Because even Trump has acknowledged that health care is "complicated." We need hearings w/ input from the public, providers, hospitals, etc.

When Dems worked on ACA, we spent hundreds of hours in hearings & markups, heard from nearly 200 witnesses & held thousands of town halls.

Why? Because people's lives are at stake. Health care is too important not to go through the appropriate & transparent legislative process.
