The very good news out of Congress this morning is that negotiators hammered out a government funding deal over the weekend that doesn't do awful things to anyone—it's a very, very good deal for Democrats. The bad news in this agreement is that it leaves time for House Speaker Paul Ryan to get another shot at passing Zombie Trumpcare this week. Yes, still. Again. They have another week-long recess coming up next week—yes, again—and want to get this done before heading out of town on Thursday.
Some senior Republicans and White House officials are advising Ryan (R-Wis.) and his top lieutenants to cancel the recess if needed, and to keep the House in session until they have the votes."I think they could have voted on Friday," President Donald Trump said in a Sunday interview on CBS' "Face the Nation" to discuss his first 100 days in office. "I said, 'Just relax. Don't worry about this phony 100 day thing. Just relax. Take it easy. Take your time. Get the good vote and make it perfect.'"
"I think health care reform, repealing and replacing Obamacare is just around the corner,” Vice President Mike Pence added on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “I think we’re close.”
While Trump and the White House have been overly optimistic before about repealing Obamacare, senior House Republicans agree with them this time.
“We’re very close," Republican Conference Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington said on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”
House Republicans are hell-bent on ripping away our health insurance. Call your member of Congress at 202-224-3121, and demand they vote NO on a renewed Trumpcare that is worse than the one before. Remind them they work for you.
