WASHINGTON — A last-ditch Republican effort to repeal Obamacare picked up steam on Monday as a key senator opened the door to supporting the bill, which is popularly known as Graham-Cassidy.

Democrats and health care advocacy groups opposed to the legislation, which include AARP and the American Heart Association, are taking the latest Republican push very seriously.

Republicans lawmakers face a tight deadline to get it done: They can only pass the bill using budget reconciliation, which lets them bypass a Democratic filibuster, if they vote before September 30.

Rand Paul has come out against it. Collins will almost certain to oppose it. Murkowski and Caputo are likely to oppose it as well.

None of this matters unless McConnell suspends the filibuster

Rand Paul is effectively going to salvage John McCain’s reputation by being the Republican responsible for preserving Obamacare.

If WE ALL had the choice we would be BACKING Rand Paul after all we used to WANT exactly what Paul wants OCARE being ripped up by the roots!!! It is VERY UNFORTUNATE that WE ALL have to also compromise because of the LYING BASTARDS that are on our side!! I think WE ALL agree that we would want things returned to the free market system we had before OCARE !!!!!
