With less than one week until Obamacare enrollment concludes, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi used congressional Democrats' inaugural weekly address to warn of the catastrophic effects repealing the law would have on the public.

"Tragically, repeal of the Affordable Care Act will lead to death, disability and suffering. And Republicans will do all of this to give a massive new tax break to the wealthiest – as they abandon seniors and working families across America," Pelosi said.

Pelosi saluted the hundreds of thousands who turned out to protest Trump's presidency last Saturday for rallying for women's rights.

"Congratulations to the courageous organizers of the Women's March – who enabled women and their families to demonstrate our values, our unity, and our good spirit – in crowds that dwarfed the inaugural turnout," Pelosi said, jabbing the new administration.

"The actions of the administration and congressional Republicans following the march were swift and nasty. The president reinstated an international gag rule that silences even the discussion of women's reproductive choices," Pelosi added. "And House Republicans passed an expanded and even more dangerous version of the Hyde Amendment."

Pelosi lambasted conservative lawmakers for taking action to repeal the Affordable Care Act, instead of taking action to raise wages and create jobs. Obamacare, Pelosi said, has expanded healthcare access and lowered those costs. However, Obamacare premiums in most states are expected to rise by 22 percent in 2017.

Instead, Pelosi said the Trump administration's plan to replace former President Barack Obama's legacy law will "make America sick again." Pelosi said the number of uninsured Americans will increase by 18 million in the first post-Obamacare year.

Protecting the Affordable Care Act is about ensuring people "cannot be charged more because of their gender – because being a woman is no longer a pre-existing condition," Pelosi charged.

The House leader vowed Democrats will stand their ground to keep the law on the books, somehow.
