Nothing except they said they're done for now, and it is unlikely that the gaps between hfc and moderates is filled

Plus, I think reconciliation has a time limit on it

Also the GOP clearly has no confidence in its ability to pass healthcare reform at this point. Why on earth would they want to give themselves another black eye.

also now Trump has said he wants to see the ACA individual market collapse because that will show them, that will show them all how bad it was and how right he is.

This isn't a joke he is going to sabotage this any way he can in order to prove himself right.

from what I'm seeing among the trump base they aren't directly blaming the democrats (as of now) even with trump himself going that angle, ryan is drawing the overwhelming ire at every angle

only solace they are taking is the bill always sucked, Obamacare is going to fail anyway and it's the democrats fault when it does, everyone walking around it being a loss instead of spinning it as a win

this was essentially the first real test to see if the republicans could overcome their political infighting and actually make progress on anything legislatively

instead it turned into a clown-car pile-up with the HFC basically attempting to hold everything for ransom and everyone trying to throw everyone else under the bus at the end

they didn't even manage to get a bill they've essentially passed 60 times to the senate

basically, the republicans were revealed in the most obvious way to be transparently lovely and incapable of actually governing, because they've spent most of the last decade being a rote opposition party that didn't actually have to deliver on anything

it won't stop their base from blaming the democrats for the republicans being completely unable to pass anything though, because they're morons

well

in a month or two itll be a nonstarter because they planned to use a tool called budget reconciliation to create an acceptable final version of the bill after ramming thru a "close enough" approximation w promises of sorting things out in reconciliation. since its intended as a budget management tool and not a general legislative thing theres a deadline for it, since they arent supposed to be dicking w the budget all the time. that deadline is fast approaching

they could try to do something w/o reconciliation, or try again next year, but thats unlikely. the potus has said outright that he is ready to move on, hes done w trying to do healthcare. the legislature is still as hostile to building a working bill as ever, and that wont change in the immediate term. the bill is as unpopular as ever, w literally every stakeholder group—medical, insurance, and citizen

the political will isnt there and creating the will would be costly, and would probably lead to another crushing defeat. this is especially true now since paul ryan has lost all appearance of authority and couldnt negotiate a congressional sand castle contest during a beach visit

the republicans and trump have a number of things they want to do, and staying on this losing issue would just grind their agenda nearly to a halt

it's not a victory, it's just a huge bluff blowing up in the idiot's face because he made a huge rear end stink about it yesterday

things will be back to normal once Trump doubles down on the taxes
