True and I'm happy with Rand's influence and it hasn't even got to the senate yet.

Not close enough. A few tweaks are not enough. This was released Monday, and it didn't change anyone's mind.

Rand already tweeted that Ryan will pull the bill rather than let the house vote it down. This bill is dead.

I hope so. It makes Paul Ryan look the fool that he is. They need to go back to the drawing board, repeal it then debate after on a replacement and what should be in it. People are going to be pissed off no matter what they do, might as well do the right thing for the long term future rather than a quick fix.

Lol. Ron once said something to the affect about having fun while fighting for liberty. Massie seems to embody this philosophy.

SPICER: There is no 'plan B' for healthcare if the GOP replacement bill fails

White House press secretary Sean Spicer on Wednesday projected confidence that the Republican bill to repeal and replace Obamacare would pass a critical House vote.

Spicer told reporters during a daily press briefing that there is no back-up plan for the American Health Care Act, which has also been colloquially referred to as "Trumpcare" and "Ryancare," because the bill would pass.

"No, there is no plan B," said Spicer. "There is a plan A, and plan A. We're going to get this done. We're going to get it done, that's it, plain and simple."

During a recent meeting, Trump told conservative groups that are against the bill that his plan B was to allow Obamacare, officially named the Affordable Care Act, to "collapse" and then blame Democrats for any negative outcomes.

Spicer also said that Trump is working to corral as many votes for the AHCA as possible, using Paul Ryan's nickname "The Closer" to describe Trump.

"Members continue to come over with us," Spicer said. "The number [voting for the AHCA] is going higher and high, not lower and lower, so the trajectory is great. As I mentioned, everybody is out there, going full court press and this is the opportunity for anyone who wants to see this done."

Sure there's a plan b. Just ask Rand.

Of course there is no back up plan B yet . . .
That was Ryan's strategy - keep it secret then try to ram this unconstitutional insurance cartel mandate down our throats
with his and Mitch McConnell's "This way or the highway."
