What’s more, that framework as described looks for all intents and purposes like a legislative orphan appealing to no one—neither moderates nor conservatives—within the Republican party:


I think this is the kicker. This is a compromise on a compromise on a compromise and its lost all of its shape. No one is going to be excited about it.

I think its DOA. Its going to get strong pushback from a variety of places that getting to 50 senate votes will be impossible, house might be a struggle if the Freedom caucus flees.

Then they are back to the drawing board. Honestly I think republicans are fricked with the ACA. Its a shitty law but the alternatives are also shitty. Going into 2018 you are going to have somebody mad at you regardless of what you do, likely multiple constituencies.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the reason Trump isn't involving himself is that he wants the Rs to fail so he can swoop in and pitch single-payer.

Haven't they already promised to fight any repeal that doesn't have a full repeal of the Medicaid expansion? Republican governors in states that expanded Medicaid don't want to see that happen.
