House Democrats are gearing up to make Wednesday’s dueling health care committee debates as painful as possible for Republicans.

Former Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine (D-Va.) slammed what he called “Trumpcare” on Tuesday, charging that the GOP’s ObamaCare replacement plan would help the wealthy with tax cuts while financially burdening average Americans. The Democratic senator took to Twitter to make his case, posting multiple tweets that slammed the Republican healthcare proposal. One tweet implied the GOP repeal and replace proposal would benefit the Trump family’s healthcare coverage plan.
