I understand that. I'm not even asking for an "ideal plan." I'm looking for something that does more than change 20% of Obamacare at best.
My own Congressman announced that he was going to vote against the plan -- and he's at the opposite end of the political spectrum from the Freedom Caucus. He was opposed to it because only 16% of his constituents supported it.
Who in their right mind would ever criticize ANY member of Congress from EITHER political party for voting against a bill that had such piss-poor public support?
This bill was only 122 pages and published online, but I’d wager that 90%+ Republicans had no idea what was in it. They only know what their favorite conservative radio host or influential Twitter guy said about it.
Also, the bill was a committee vote of sorts. It would have come back from the Senate totally different. McConnell supposedly had a whole new bill that he was going to use as an amendment.
