Democrats call for action to prevent Obamacare repealWashington: Democratic leaders joined hundreds of protesters in Los Angeles in rejecting the plan of President-elect Donald Trump and Republican congressmen to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), calling upon the public to take action to prevent that move. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi told EFE news on Monday that everyone will pay the price of killing the ACA also known as Obamacare, not just people with low incomes but also people who buy their health insurance in the private sector.

More than 10 Democratic lawmakers from the Los Angeles metro area united to denounce Republican plans to try and eliminate the ACA, a move that would affect more than 20 million people around the country. The lawmakers issued their call to the public to join the protest movements and petition Republican legislators to back off from their idea to repeal the healthcare reform. Last week, Senate Republicans approved a resolution considered to be a first step on the road to dismantling Obamacare.

Repealing Obamacare without a plan to replace it is not only “irresponsible” but also “dangerous”, warned Hispanic Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard. However, Trump said in an interview published on Monday by The Washington Post that they are working on a plan that would replace Obamacare and provide “coverage for everyone”, although he provided no further details. Congresswoman Linda Sanchez said it was unfair to say that Obama’s healthcare reform only helps low-income people.

According to Pelosi, all Americans come out ahead if they are able to buy health insurance even if they have pre-existing conditions. In addition, she warned that the healthcare industry could be affected if millions of people leave the system, a situation that she said would lead to a rise in premium prices. Promulgated in 2010, Obamacare makes it obligatory for people to have health insurance and is considered to be Obama’s signature legislative achievement as President.
