Clinton responds to GOP request for healthcare plan with campaign page


Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton fired back at the Republican National Committee's request Wednesday for a healthcare plan by sending them her former campaign’s plan on the topic.
The RNC sent out a series of tweets Wednesday targeting Democratic lawmakers, including Clinton, with clips of those lawmakers calling for changes to healthcare, asking them, “Where’s your plan?”
Clinton shot back a few hours after the initial tweet, linking a page to her campaign website.
“Right here. Includes radical provisions like how not to kick 23 [million people] off their coverage. Feel free to run [with] it,” Clinton tweeted in response.

Clinton said throughout her presidential campaign that she would defend ObamaCare, but admitted that changes did have to be made to the plan.
The GOP Twitter account tweeted the message at Clinton along with Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.).
The RNC was targeting Democratic senators who are refusing to back the Republican plan to repeal and replace ObamaCare. Senate Republicans are currently working on their second draft of the legislation after several GOP senators said they wouldn’t support the first version of the bill.
