Are there any Democratic Senators who MIGHT vote for the GOP Healthcare bill?

I'm assuming that Schumer has rallied all the Dems in unison against this cruel bill, but I don't know for sure.

Anyone have a Democratic Senator who might be iffy on this?

I don't even think that Manchin supports/would support it. The Republicans and/or the Media would certainly not hesitate to tell us if there was Democrat out there even remotely wobbly on opposing BCRA. I would think that that would mean excommunication from the party for a betrayal of that magnitude.

The politics aren't there. You'd need some "red state" senator that thought it would help him in re-election. Problem is this plan isn't all that popular and no democrat is going to impress anyone by voting for a plan that no one liked to begin with. And it won't prevent the GOP from running someone against them.
