It's official. Repeal and replace is dead. Mitch McConnell just waived the white flag and said the Senate is going to move on after the Senate voted 51-49 in favor of killing the last hope GOP proposal.
Trump's gotta be blowing an absolute gasket.
Remember when Trump dissed on John McCain by saying something like: "I don't consider people who get captured heroes."
Well, McCain gets the last laugh. His was the deciding vote. The fact he's dealing with a very serious form of brain cancer was probably his most deciding factor. But I'm sure he'll have a nice chuckle about it later tonight.
Bottom line, the proposal sucked balls bigtime. Death of Planned Parenthood. Death of all mandates. 10's of millions losing healthcare ovenight.
Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. Just fix the flaws with the ACA.
