Trouble in Paradise

Sounds like #TrumpCare is in serious trouble. 25 > 22….

From Politico: Current vote count: Obamacare repeal would fail

More than 25 members of the House Freedom Caucus are opposed to the Republican Obamacare replacement, a spokeswoman for the group said Wednesday. With all Democrats expected to vote against the plan, it would take 22 Republican ‘no’ votes to block it.”

From The Hill: Defying Trump, Freedom Caucus insists they'll oppose GOP ObamaCare replacement

“The conservative House Freedom Caucus said it remains opposed to the House GOP's ObamaCare replacement legislation Wednesday despite pressure from President Trump.”

"’The opposition is still strong,’ said Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), the chairman of the group.”

A spokesman for the Freedom Caucus separately tweeted that more than 25 members remained opposed to the bill. House GOP leaders can only afford about 22 defections, given expected absences from the vote.”
