I don’t think they have the votes to repeal or replace unless they go nuclear.

man, we could have at least defunded planned parenthood in the current reconciliation bill.

We cant boil the ocean... small wins would have been important.

You think we will ever get 60 votes to full replace... now way! the swamp is too deep now.

Whatever they were doing that just failed was under reconciliation which requires only a majority.

The are saying that simple repeal can’t be done under reconciliation.

But others are saying what McC is proposing is identical to bill they passed via reconciliation in 2015 that Obama vetoed.

Collins and Kirk (replaced by rat) were the only GOP Senators that voted it against it, but of course they knew it would be vetoed.
