Certainly that was Ryan’s aim. I despise that man and all his confederates. I think Trump is smarter than Ryan by great leaps and that he had a plan to strip the bill because of the powers given to Price by Obamacare to direct how it was enforced.
This may be Pollyanna time and Trump may be selling us out but my reading of Trump over the course of many years is that he’s a pragmatist and wants the Government trimmed and excluded from this area and all the other overreaches of the past decades.
Well then Price is free to carry on with phase II anyway if that is what they really want.
