Whip count: Republicans who oppose new health care bill
By MJ Lee, Lauren Fox and Deirdre Walsh, CNN
Updated 5:17 PM ET, Mon May 1, 2017
(CNN) - Republicans are two votes away from another failure on their efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare.
House leaders need 216 Republican "yes" votes to get the legislation through the House, since no Democrats are expected to support the bill.
According to CNN's whip count, 21 House Republicans have said they will vote against the new version of the bill. Republicans can lose up to 22 votes and still pass their legislation. If 23 Republicans vote against it, then it would likely not be able to pass.
Another 13 Republicans have told CNN they are undecided. That's at least 34 lawmakers publicly opposed to or undecided on the bill.
The following whip count continues to be updated as news develops.
"No" (21)
Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (Washington)
Rep. Barbara Comstock (Virginia)
Rep. Jeff Denham (California)
Rep. Charlie Dent (Pennsylvania)

I don't even bother reading into any of these GOP healthcare deals these days. None of them will ever happen.

Because they are letting perfect be the enemy of good. If your district voted for trump by 40 points you can do what you want and not worry about reelection chances. No excuse not to support it

The Repubs in congress really deserve what they get in the mid-terms if they can't manage to simply do what they ALREADY DID under Obama.
I will have zero sympathy.

anybody with a brain cell knew this health care vote was not happening. This bill is even worse than the 1st Trumpcare bill, which had no support.
Even if it did pass, it is dead on arrival in the Senate.

21 republicans that want ObamaCare to stay.
They need to be primaried.

I thought CNN was all lies and fake news?

Yep.
Pass this bill to start chipping away at ObamaCare and then keep improving on it to make it a more perfect product. Death by a thousand cuts.
Some republicans want ObamaCare and its free shite to stay, some want the purity cannonball shot to completely kill it and return to pre ACA healthcare.
frick them.

You have it wrong. They wont vote for an even worse bill.
You set up straw man.
HailhailtoMich needs a visit from the pottymouth patrol.

Being stupid isn't an admirable trait, mudminnow. Rather than debating anything, that's what you focused on? Good job, sport.

7 years of non stop bitching and I thought by now they would have concocted a brilliant health care bill that will appease to everyone. They had 7 years to do something. What did they do besides bitch non stop about Obama care and Obamas birth certficate?

Culberson finally shat and/or got off the pot?

The latest budget is in the same bad shape. Brute force does not impress senators.

What's funny is, liberals are absolutely tenacious about this approach.
I'm not giving the purists OR the non-purists a pass though.
Those fricking non-purists PASSED repeal MULTIPLE times.
So, while the purists may be making the perfect the enemy of the good, they aren't the ones who fricking crawfished on something they ALREADY did!

I haven't googled it but I know both Issa and Coffman barely won.
The bill isn't very good IMHO. I think you would be better off with a straight repeal, keeping the bill around but killing pieces of it so it implodes is a bad strategy IMHO.
Plus this bill isn't going to get through the senate. Those in swing districts need to consider that.

Its simple. The establishment wanted Jeb to win. Once that was done, they figured Hillary would be the winner and they could score free political points for the next 4-8 years talking about repeal and replacing Obamacare while doing absolutely nothing.

Suggesting Walter Jones should be primaried, a bold new strategy
