GOP Losing Votes on Health Bill, Imperiling Its Chances
"House Republican leaders are on the brink of losing too many GOP votes to pass their health-care bill overturning much of the Affordable Care Act, potentially dashing hopes raised by the White House of a big legislative win this week.
At least 21 House Republicans have now said they oppose the latest version of the Republican plan to overhaul the health-care system, with an almost equal number publicly undecided on the bill. House GOP leaders can likely lose only 22 GOP votes to pass the bill, because it isn’t expected to receive any Democratic support."
If Democrats are smart they will get together and have just enough Democrats support whatever GOP plan is presented to get it passed, removing the health care disaster / 'albatross' from around their neck and wiping Obama's name off of it, officially making it the GOP's mess. Until something changes, Obama's name is still on the Bill that the Democrats rammed into law, which means it is still theirs and whatever happens with Obamacare is still all THEIRS.
The combination of Ryan and the GOP proving they can't govern / lead worth crap while also taking responsibility for passing (and ownership of) something that has the potential to be even worse than the ACA could potentially reverse their decline (1,000+ political elections lost and back-to-back historic record-setting election losses), returning them to power in Congress and the WH.
