Political pundits aren't the only ones who are upset over the American Health Care Act (AHCA), or "Obamacare Light" as some conservatives have called it. A major national debate wouldn't be complete without celebrities piping in about the GOP's healthcare initiative.
Debra Messing spent the last few days retweeting articles and commentary on the AHCA. To say she hates the GOP's version is an understatement.

Cher went on a Twitter rant about how the GOP's bill "lacks access." You know, the same one that gives women access to abortions.

Of course, Parks and Recreation cast member Nick Offerman voiced his concerns over the defunding of Planned Parenthood.
And why is it that Planned Parenthood is the most important thing to them when it comes to healthcare - that and birth control?And then he insulted Trump for how he became President. Ouch.Paul @SpeakerRyan of Wisconsin. Gutting @PPFA means no care 4 women like Lori (a constituent of yours) https://t.co/VIFPiKY3xj #IStandWithPP

One outspoken conservative celebrity spoke out against the GOP's failed efforts. James Woods wasn't happy about Ryan's leadership. He made sure his 609,000 followers knew it.
Is it time for @SpeakerRyan to step down and let someone, ANYONE, actually fulfill the promises Republicans made for the last several years?
— James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) March 24, 2017
And you can't really blame him, can you? Republicans DID run on the platform that Obamacare would be repealed, not modified. Frustration abounds.
