If he had really wanted to get rid of zerocare he would have made the rounds to almost everyone on both sides of the aisle and in Both Houses, and started with the President.
He would have created a much simpler bill.
A good Speaker never brings up a bill,ever,unless he is 99% sure it will pass and he has the support. Ryan knows that and he didn't do near the work an honest Speaker would have done.

There's plenty of blame to go around, but RYNO deserves the bulk of it, for the reasons you indicated. He also should have allowed floor amendments.
HB1628 is not actually dead, it is tabled (postponed).
I don't know how likely this is, but I believe the majority could bring this back AND save face by "reconsidering their actions" and opening it back up for debate and amendments from the HFC. Jordan should stand up on the floor and demand it.
The President could state that he WILL NOT sign any bill that does not reverse the premium escalation, and Make Insurance Great Again.
(by keeping government THE HELL out of "healthcare")

Agree. He is a snake, and wants to maintain the status quo. Heard him after the bill was pulled, and he rattled off talking points like he was giving out free stuff.
He’s all show and no go. The sooner we are rid of him the better
