Hillary Clinton fires back after official GOP Twitter account asks for her healthcare plan

Hillary Clinton fired back at the official Republican Party Twitter account after it asked for her healthcare plan on Wednesday.

The Republican National Committee's Twitter account went after Democrats on Wednesday with a string of clips that featured Democratic political figures admitting the faults with the Affordable Care Act, the law better known as Obamacare.

Each tweet claimed Democrats have no healthcare alternative and asked the politicians — such as Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, as well as former President Bill Clinton — for their plans to fix the ACA.

One of the tweets featured a clip of Hillary Clinton speaking at a 2016 campaign event about the flaws of the ACA.

"'We've got to fix what’s broken.' Where's your plan, @HillaryClinton?" the RNC tweeted.

In reply, Clinton linked to a page from her campaign website with details on plans to expand insurance coverage, bring down drug prices, combat rising insurance premiums, and more.

Yes, I have a plan, but it will cost you to see it. I need a four year term in the Oval Office.

She's been here before. There was the dreaded "Hillarycare" journey while her husband was president. She was roundly criticized and nit-picked and excoriated and disrespected for that, and sheesh - all that work she put in! Against so many odds and obstructions. She persisted, too, long before it became a slogan.

And then she came back with another portfolio of proposals and adjustments and planning for last year's campaign.

And this is/was somehow a bad thing. I don't get it. And I'm damned sick of it.

Sometimes I just want to shout from every corner of the earth - "STOP PICKING ON HER, DAMMIT!!! GET THE HELL OFF HER BACK!!!!"

ignorant assholes. It is not her job. You made damn sure of that. Obama tried to make it better and you fought him every inch of the way and kept him from improving it. NOW you want the plan? You should all be able to figure out where I suggest you go.

"Oh, yeah? Where's YOUR lunch money, you wuss?"

"Ha ha! I bet YOU don't know the answer to test question #12, nerd!"

"We've got to fix what’s broken. Where's YOUR plan, Hillary?"
