#Trumpcare 1.0 cut #Medicaid, cut #Obamacare subsidies, repealed #IndividualMandate (a tax according to #SupremeCourt)

But
#FreedomCaucus got regulatory changes to the new#AHCA. States can opt out of essential benefits, lifetime caps, and pricing regs. 3/xThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

That means
#Trumpcare 1.0 could pass under#Senate's reconciliation rules, but new#AHCA can't. 4/xThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Republicans could nuke legislative filibuster, but that's a bigger change than for judges, and they like
#Gorsuch more than#Trumpcare. 5/xThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

#Trumpcare was already hard in the#Senate with reconciliation. 60-vote threshold is impossible. Maybe#AHCA celebration was premature? 6/xpic.twitter.com/DvAwi2MpPg

Maybe AHCA was a pretext designed to give political cover to the Repubs, who've been decrying ACA for 8 years without a decent substitute.

That's possible. But I think this is their genuine attempt to change the healthcare system (in a way that could get through the House).

Mitch will come up with Plan Z.......

Perhaps. But his final fallback plan is more about saving his own position than getting some
#Obamacare repeal through.#Trumpcare -
Sure hope you are right!

I though
#GOP moderates might fold, like in the House, or get bought off. But now parliamentarian effectively ruled out repeal and replace.
