AHCA Whip Count

The House GOP wanted a vote this week so they could say they repealed Obamacare on the 7th anniversary of its passing. But Obamacare was never secure after March 2010. Besides Court challenges, it was always inevitable that the Republicans would regain control one day. No legislation ever survived in the American political system for the long run without at least bipartisan acquiescence. So ironically, this week may be the week Obamacare passed -- truly passed the American political system, not just Congress. From now on, it's bipartisan. Congrats, Obama!

It's quite hilariously ironic that it now seems the REPUBLICANS will be the one to save ObamaCare in the end.

I mean it's not ironic that they'll ratify the Heritage Foundation plan/Romneycare, but in light of how much Trump promised to get rid of it during the campaign, it is funny.
