No wonder they hid health bill ...

Republican House leaders have spent months dodging questions about how they would replace the Affordable Care Act with a better law, and went so far as to hide the draft of their plan from other lawmakers. No wonder. The bill they released on Monday would kick millions of people off the coverage they currently have. So much for President Trump’s big campaign promise: “We’re going to have insurance for everybody” — with coverage that would be “much less expensive and much better.”

More than 20 million Americans gained health care coverage under the A.C.A., or Obamacare. Health experts say most would lose that coverage under the proposal.

Should Trump succeed in the House, his next problem would be the Senate. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has promised the upper chamber will pass a repeal and replace bill, despite skepticism from his members, and betting against McConnell’s ability to whip and count votes has never been a path to riches.

So far, only Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has expressed his firm opposition, and on Tuesday night, Trump called him out.
