Paul Ryan pulled the same thing the dems did...pass the HC bill and we will explain it after. Well, Freedom group is on to that and want time to understand before it is put up for vote. Good for some sane people.
Repubs did the same thing to Obama but Obama wasn't set up prior to taking office and what is going on now is a witch hunt...find something anything.

With a 17% approval rating for the bill, Congress did the right thing not passing the AHCA. Drudge is a moron if he thinks that bill was acceptable to pass in the form it was in.
Now that the Affordable Care Act has survived its most serious threat in Congress, the law’s footprint across the country might grow even larger in the months ahead.
Several states that initially opted out of Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion are now reconsidering their decision as a result of last year’s elections and as Republicans come under new pressure to accept the billions in federal dollars available under the law. The most aggressive push is coming in deep-red Kansas, where the Republican-controlled Senate on Tuesday sent Governor Sam Brownback legislation that could expand the state’s version of Medicaid to as many as 150,000 new enrollees.

Well here's the thing, either we stick with and fix Obamacare or we move to medicare for all (universal healthcare). Going in another direction will just result in another AHCA implosion because you'll never get the public behind such a bill.

The super majority thing is true, the last will remain to be seen.

I suspect there are members in the house and Senate that are covertly conspiring against the Trump administration, but the sabotage efforts run much "deeper" than the elected government...

Well I think that the whole dog and pony show IS to get the public behind a universal healthcare idea.
