Rand Paul goes on Twitter rampage against Republicans' last hope for repealing Obamacare

Rand Paul said that the Graham-Cassidy-Heller-Johnson is simply "Obamacare-lite" and tweeted that he would vote against the bill.

Republican Sen. Rand Paul spent Friday on Twitter taking the Graham-Cassidy-Heller-Johnson (GCHJ) Obamacare repeal plan to the proverbial woodshed.

Paul, a staunch advocate for a total repeal of the law formally known as the Affordable Care Act, said earlier Friday that he would vote against the plan if it came to the Senate floor.

While the proposal would give federal money in block grants to states, it would do so in slightly tweaked amounts close to current funding levels under Obamacare.

That would mean Obamacare is still broadly intact, Paul argued.
