Democrats vow to fight 'tooth and nail' against Medicare cutsBY PETER SULLIVAN - 12/07/16 12:28 PM EST
Democratic leaders on Wednesday vowed to fight tooth and nail against any Republican push to change Medicare so that it relies more on private insurers.
I say to my Republican colleagues: Turn back because we will fight you on this tooth and nail. We will win. You will lose, Sen. Charles Schumer (N.Y.), the incoming Democratic leader said at a press conference.
He was joined by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), as well as liberal groups that were delivering to Republican leaders a petition against Medicare cuts with over 1 million signatures.
