Alaskans and Arizonans like all the attention and are more liberal than their reputations.

Imagine if it passed. Every news cast between now and 2018, and then 2020 would be about some person with a medical condition that lost coverage and died. Mothers, children, veterans. Could get covered by an existing condition. Was dropped by insurance they had under Obama.

So, from a political point of view it may be for the best.

The GOP hasn’t come up with a replacement that is better.

There is no stomach in the USA for getting rid of all Government insurance. The biggest expansion of coverage under Obamacare was due to extending Medicaid eligibility. And proposal that takes people who have insurance and removes it will be demnoized as heartless, helping the rich, hurting the poor, etc.

I know I’m in a big minority, but, from a purely political point of view the failure is a godsend.

I can't speak for Alaska but AZ has been browning and getting retired leftists in for decades and it's catching up. The state was near purple at the last election. It breaks my heart to see a state slowly whither and die through transplantation of the ugly people.
