With the ink barely dry on the legislation, powerful conservative groups started lining up against House Republicans’ plan to replace Obamacare, with Club for Growth saying it would aggressively push for GOP lawmakers to vote against it.
With little early defense from the White House, the groups issued sharply worded statements against the House GOP replacement bill, which would offer less generous insurance tax credits and phase out the law’s Medicaid expansion while striking its unpopular individual mandate penalty.
The Heritage Foundation’s advocacy arm called it “bad policy.” FreedomWorks panned it as “Obamacare-lite.” And the Club for Growth called it a “warmed-over substitute for government-run health care.”
