I know lots of people who are middle of the road types who would embrace the GOP if they had only fixed healthcare. Or even made an attempt. The GOP promised they had a plan, and when the time to deliver came, they soiled themselves.

Therein lies the problem.

There's no way to "fix" health care without making people pay more of the REAL cost of their health care directly. That's the last thing most Americans want to hear.

Health care will be a disaster as long as we let people live their lives with this delusional idea that they have this God-given right to pass the costs of their health care onto others.

The GOP had it lined up and McConnell was told he had the votes for a healthcare bill that already passed the House and President Trump already said he would sign. NEVER FORGET what John McCain did to sabotage this. He could have warned he would not vote Yes, but that would have given Trump and McConnell and the GOP a chance to find another yes somewhere before allowing a vote in the Senate. No, McCain waited until he was the last vote and he voted NO and killed it. He did this strictly out of venomous vindictiveness directed at Trump.

People should never forget that McCain did this.

Trump had every intention of fixing health care, but there was no way the Democrats and the GOPe would give him that win.
