Nevada Democratic Party Chairman and Las Vegas Assemblyman William McCurdy called Heller's statement disingenuous.

"Enough with the spineless equivocating, fraudulent press releases and hiding behind other politicians," McCurdy wrote in a statement, adding Heller "owns" the effort to repeal-and-replace "Obamacare."

Every Democratic member of Nevada's congressional delegation reiterated their opposition to the Republican plan after it was released.

Rep. Jacky Rosen, who is gunning for Heller's seat in the Senate, called it "a cruel bill that implements a crushing age tax on older Americans, weakens essential health benefits protections, defunds Planned Parenthood, and strips away access to care for our most vulnerable citizens."

About 50 union nurses, hospital staff and progressive activists gathered outside University Memorial Center in Las Vegas around noon on Thursday, according to organizer Andres Ramirez, to protest the GOP bill and call on Heller to vote it down.

“I cannot support a piece of legislation that takes away insurance from tens of millions of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Nevadans,” Heller said in a news conference held in his home state.
