Well, I could be wrong, but I don’t like the GOP passing unconstitutional bills to move the ball a few yards. Sets a bad precedence. And leaves a lot of opportunity for establishment treachery.
They’ve all admitted during these last eight years or so that Obamacare is unconstitutional. Just repeal the damn thing and be done with it.
4 will vote against straight repeal.
Use them to get what you can now rather than risking getting nothing later.
It never hurts to remember in all this that Trump is on record as a moderate on health care. Conservative on immigration, wall, jobs, taxes...but moderate on health care. He’s not hid it. He was open about it. Repeal AND Replace was always his public position, and we all remember him saying he will not let the poor die in the streets.
Take what we can now. Take more later. Keep getting closer and closer by taking when we can
