There are 50 members in the Tuesday Group of "Moderate" Republicans. If the 193 Democrats found common ground with them, maybe something positive could happen. In a world where the American people were the prime concern of elected officials, maybe. In this real hyper-partisan world where every Republican/conservative voted to repeal, not so much. This is idiot-ological for Republicans/conservatives. If they didn't have to deal with replace, they would have repealed ACA on day 1.

Word is they're going to vote on it tomorrow.
Maybe they've got enough votes to push it through now.
Good coffee, good weed, and time on my hands...

Rep Meadows said it best .... he was working hard to get to "yes".
This is highly stylized Washingtonian theater. Back and forth ... melodrama ... the President issues an ultimatum ... on the edge of your seat ... to be continued tomorrow
Even if it passes the House (and I suspect it will), I do not know what anyone could possibly offer 8 Democrats in the Senate to vote for a bill which probably never makes it out of conference. I suspect they can not get all 52 Republicans in Senate to vote for anything which looks like the House bill.
Essentially these folks are saying they are out of the health care business. They will continue to cripple ACA until it dies an unpleasant death due to financial and legislative malnutrition.

In language that Trump understands, people are saying nyet.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

My hat is off to Nancy Pelosi who convinced the FreeDumb Cockus to vote as she directed. Strange bedfellows indeed!

I think it was more that constituents were calling and saying NO! I tried to call my representative, many times, and the lines to DC were clogged. Kept getting that unable to connect your call at this time message.
However, just because it was stopped this time does not mean it is dead for the Republicans. Ever vigilant, ever ready.
Vote 2022!
Life is like a PB&J sandwich. The older you get, the moldery and crustier you get.
