Are there just 3 of the Republicans that will not go along with McConnell on the health care proposal? Just 3? Yes, there are rumblings that there are 3, but when it hits the fan, will all go in lock step, or will 3 say no. I think there are, but we will know in the next few weeks...Yes, I have asked this question before, but we are getting close. So I will ask it again.

(10,036 posts)Those that express skepticism, like Collins, can pretty much be relied upon as a "yes" vote if the GOP needs them to get to 50 (Pence as tie breaker). The Senate bill needs to be substantially more cruel to the working and middle class, and those bridging the gap the Medicare (which for now, still exists not as a coupon program), for there to be any chance of a GOP revolt. Then again, those 13 Senators behind locked doors might have overplayed their hand messing with insurance's comprehensive coverage and lifetime limits, which will affect employer based plans eventually. I am hopeful then the GOP faithful might finally see an attack on the ACA plan shatters everyone's healthcare and affects the middle/working classes' economic security.
