Pro-Obamacare Group Slams GOP Tax Bill in New Ad

The pro-Obamacare group, Save My Care, is blasting Republicans and urging voters to call lawmakers and tell them to vote against the tax reform package.

The group's message comes in a new ad, according to The Hill.

"President [Donald] Trump and Republicans in Congress are ignoring bipartisan opposition and trying to sneak health care repeal into their tax plan," says a narrator in the ad. "Why? To pay for more tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations."

"They want to rip healthcare away from 13 million Americans and raise premiums by double digits for millions more."

"Call Congress. Tell them to vote no on healthcare repeal."

The Hill noted that the Senate GOP's tax bill includes a repeal of Obamacare individual mandate. More than $300 billion in government funding would free up to pay for the tax cuts if the mandate is repealed, the website said.

The Congressional Budget Office said repealing the mandate would lead to 13 million fewer people having insurance in the next 10 years, the Hill reported.
