They're voting to send it back to committee right now, which is why reading off those who voted affirmative had a ton of Democrats on it.

This isn't the vote yet, this is basically "kill the whole Trumpcare idea loving dead forever" vote. After this fails it'll be "well what about this slightly less-evil loving plan, yes or no?"
