Pelosi: Democrats will 'put a stake in the heart' of ObamaCare repeal after McCain opposition

Pelosi: Democrats will 'put a stake in the heart' of ObamaCare repeal after McCain opposition
BY MAX GREENWOOD - 09/22/17 03:51 PM EDT

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Friday praised Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) announcement that he would not support the latest GOP effort to repeal and replace ObamaCare and pledged Democrats will "put a stake in the heart of this monstrous bill."

In a letter to Democrats, Pelosi touted McCain's decision as "good news."

But she also cast Democrats' health-care fight against Republicans as ongoing, urging lawmakers and advocacy groups to keep pressure on GOP lawmakers and the discussion in front of the public.

"Together, we will finally put a stake in the heart of this monstrous bill," Pelosi wrote.
