Conservative Republicans, groups, and media outlets are not happy with the House GOP leadership's plan to repeal and replace Obamacare.

The right-leaning entities have dubbed the new plan — officially named the American Health Care Act — "Obamacare-lite" because it preserves what they consider to be objectionable parts of the Affordable Care Act.

Sen. Rand Paul tweeted his displeasure with the law on Tuesday for not going far enough in repeal.

Conservative lawmakers plan to introduce a law that would repeal the ACA completely, which they say the AHCA does not do, while bringing along a replacement bill shortly behind.
