Wanted to be sure you saw this Bloomberg story about how Republicans might have to vote on TrumpCare again because they passed it without actually knowing what was in it. After the fierce backlash that Republicans faced back home, do GOP leaders really think their Members will vote for the bill again? Best of luck to the GOP Whip team.
“House Republicans barely managed to pass their Obamacare repeal bill earlier this month, and they now face the possibility of having to vote again on their controversial health measure.”
“House Speaker Paul Ryan hasn’t yet sent the bill to the Senate because there’s a chance that parts of it may need to be redone, depending on how the Congressional Budget Office estimates its effects.”
“Republicans had rushed to vote on the health bill so the Senate could get a quick start on it, even before the CBO had finished analyzing a series of last-minute changes. The CBO is expected to release an updated estimate next week.”
“‘Unaware,’ said Representative Jeff Denham of California, with noticeable surprise Thursday, when advised that his party leaders still hadn’t sent the bill over to the Senate. Denham was one of the House Republicans who ended up voting for the measure, after earlier in the week opposing it.”
“‘I had no idea,’ Dennis Ross of Florida, another member of the vote-counting team, said Thursday, adding that the prospect of another vote ‘does concern me.’”
