The bill should have been drawn up by negotiations between Paul, Cruz, Cassidy, and Collins. Not the anti-Republican ghoul Paul Ryan.

Main Stream  Republicans are excellent at governing : Reagan passed his tax cuts agenda and his domestic agenda over a democratic house, HW also was great at foreign policy, The republicans in congress from 1994-2000 got Bill Clinton to essentially  be a Republican President, and George W  Bush got so many things passed from 2001-2003.

What a bunch of time that has been wasted on this health care debacle.

And also on trying to ban Muslims from entering the country.

And also on Trump lying about Obama spying on him.

The Party of Wasting Time = Republican

Is this more an continuation of the syndrome of an unwillingness to compromise until matters become something of a crises, that makes the status quo totally untenable, or a fundamental policy, moral disagreement, about leaving 24 million citizens in the lurch when it comes to health care, or the risk of same, with no willingness to come up with something that provides such citizens with some reasonable social safety net when it comes to health care? That really matters, when gauging the odds of something being worked out eventually. Too much social Darwinism here, is well, toxic.

Bolded is probably the answer.

Problem is Republicans can never agree upon anything.

They seem to be uniting in opposition to RyanCare.

Obamacare has worked because it has improved Blue Cross and Blue Shield health insurance.  Insurers after they get off of Medi-Cal or medicaid will transfer their coverage to an employer Blue Cross plan which I am currently on.

I wouldn't underestimate McConnell's ability to rope senators into voting for this, assuming it can get past the house.
