Why was this not done in January?

Because the GOP
1) hates Pres. Trump
2) hates Americans
3) loves RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE from which THEY are EXEMPT.

Good list. Please allow me to add two more:

4) certain GOP cowards greatly fear the media backlash of "taking away" any entitlements from the Takers

5) Ryan and the GOP allowed this bill to be written by K Street lobbyists and the insurance industry (in fact, I believe former Speaker and present lobbyist John Boehner negotiated its authorship for Ryan, and Boehner got paid millions to do so)

It’s easy to just blame the GOP, but where are the eight Democrat votes that would be required to get Paul’s plan passed even if every last Republican Senator supported it?
