"It's pretty horrendous, that's not our values here," said Democratic Congresswoman Kathy Castor as she stood in front of Memorial Hospital of Tampa.

The republicans just rolled out their plan to replace Obamacare on Monday.

Joe Nammour has multiple sclerosis. He's worried the changes will make it harder for him to find affordable insurance.
"What we quickly realized is.. it was an automatic denial across the board, no one would cover some one with multiple sclerosis," he said.

"Right now premiums are sky high and your deductibles are high," says co-owner Kristie Hall
There's also the question of how this is being presented.
