"I think everybody needs to know what's in this so-called health care bill,” Pocan said Tuesday in a statement.

“Tens of millions of people will lose access to health insurance, millions of others will pay more, and the only people who benefit are wealthier Americans who receive hundreds of billions in tax breaks.”

Pocan’s announcement is just the latest amid the Democratic campaign to use the current House recess to rally voters in Republican districts against the AHCA — and the Republican lawmakers who backed it.

Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-N.Y.) launched the “adopt-a-district” effort Monday night, traveling into the neighboring region represented by Rep. John Faso (R-N.Y.) for a town hall rally opposing the bill. Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) is planning another event Tuesday evening in the Tucson district of Rep. Martha McSally (R-Ariz.). Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) is eyeing districts to stage similar events. And Republican Reps.

Passed by the House last Thursday, the Republicans’ healthcare bill takes steps toward fulfilling the GOP’s yearslong promise of repealing ObamaCare and replacing it with a more free-market system — a principal vow of President Trump.

But the proposal would also eliminate patient protections established by former President Barack Obama Barack Hussein ObamaGOP senator blocks Schumer resolution aimed at Biden probe as tensions run high D-Day for Trump: September 29 Obama says making a voting plan is part of 'how to quarantine successfully' MORE’s signature healthcare law — the Congressional Budget Office estimated an earlier version would eliminate coverage for 24 million people — and Republicans have faced a public outcry in recent weeks from voters concerned about losing those benefits.

In response, a vast majority of House Republicans are avoiding town hall meetings with constituents during the current weeklong recess. And those who are staging such events are facing crowds furious with their votes.

The Democrats are only more than happy to encourage the blowback. Pocan, for one, says the “adopt-a-district” concept is just beginning.

“Everything I've ever known about politics is that if you pass something you are proud of, you can't wait to talk about it. But crickets are louder than Republicans after they voted to kick millions of people off of health care while giving tax cuts to the wealthy,” he said.

“I'm more than happy to go into other districts to ensure the constituents of congressional Republicans know what's in this bill — starting with Paul Ryan’s.”

Ryan’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
