House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi lamented the GOP's newly revised bill to repeal and replace Obamacare, calling it a "very sad, deadly joke."
 
"What you would need is probably about $200 billion over 10 years," she said during a press conference. 

"What they’ve done is $8 billion over five years. If you divide that by the number of people who have a pre-existing medical condition, you get about [$200 or $300] a year. It’s a joke. It’s a very sad, deadly joke." The Hill reports: 

The additional $8 billion for high-risk pools, added Wednesday at the behest of Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.), falls far short of funding needed to protect the millions of patients who would lose access to coverage because they have pre-existing conditions, Pelosi said. 

Pelosi accused the Republicans of trying to jam a repeal-and-replace bill through Congress not for health-related reasons, but to set the stage for a tax reform proposal providing hundreds of billions of dollars in cuts for the rich.

“They’re in a hurry … because they need this money to give a tax break to the wealthiest people in our country. This bill will have the biggest transfer of wealth in the history of our country — Robin Hood in reverse,” she said.
 
“That is the goal of their tax bill, but they need this money from your healthcare in order to do that.”
 
[...] The latest iteration of that effort emerged Wednesday morning, when Upton and Rep. Billy Long (R-Mo.) said they’d support the proposal with the additional $8 billion for high-risk pools over five years — a slight increase over the $130 billion over 10 years already in the GOP bill.
 
The pools are designed to protect patients who can no longer afford coverage in states granted waivers to eliminate certain ObamaCare protections, particularly a prohibition on charging more to those who are already sick or have pre-existing conditions.

The House is slated to vote on the bill Thursday.
