Sarah Silverman, Debra Messing and Ilana Glazer were among the celebrities to slam members of Congress who voted to dismantle the Affordable Care Act.
The stars took to Twitter yesterday to both criticize the health care overhaul, and put out a call-to-action before the bill heads to Senate.
Here are some of their reactions.
call your reps or even not your reps and tell them to vote no on AHCA https://t.co/4frM1Cr5sD

800 billion dollars cut to Medicaid so #GOPGOONS can give a trillion $ tax cut to the rich. Typical of Freedom Caucus; radical fanatics.
