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.
