Lawmaker Interviews

Watch: Dem says he’d be ‘very surprised’ if Democrats back GOP healthcare plan

At least one Democratic lawmaker says he doesn’t see fellow House Democrats voting for the Republicans’ Obamacare repeal and replace bill if it makes it to the floor in its current form.

“I would be very surprised to see Democrats support this,” Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) tells The Hill’s Molly K. Hooper.
