Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) may be the first among House Republicans to explicitly state that she is a definite “NO” vote on the American Health Care Act.
I plan to vote NO on the current #AHCA bill. As written the plan leaves too many from my #SoFla district uninsured (1/2)

It doesn’t appear that her issue is that the bill is too much like Obamacare though. She’s concerned about constituents losing their Obamacare subsidies.
As #AHCA stands, it will cut much needed help for #SoFla's poor + elderly populations. Need a plan that will do more to protect them (2/2)

I predicted a long time ago that eventually Republicans would be fighting to preserve Obamacare. I wish I had been wrong.
