Soon-to-be Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is putting his foot down when it comes to Obamacare:

Chuck Schumer: Democrats won't help GOP with Obamacare replacement https://t.co/Ob1uzSeJyu pic.twitter.com/cJlmeBFNUB

More from the Washington Examiner:

“We’re not going to do a replacement,” Schumer said of his caucus. “If they repeal without a replacement, they will own it. Democrats will not then step up to the plate and come up with a half-baked solution that we will partially own. It’s all theirs.”

Well OK, Chuck. If you insist …

Good, they don't have any good ideas in the first place.

@SenSchumer Considering the disaster of a bill Obamacare was, I'd kind of insist on Democrats not helping with repeal.

As the Examiner’s Paige Winfield Cunningham also points out:

If Democrats refuse to work with Republicans on a replacement plan, that could put them in a political bind, as they could be blamed for depriving millions of Americans of health coverage.

Huh. Wouldn’t that be something?
