This is a bunch of bull$#@!.
Hmmm. I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that the bill repeals Obamacare and then replaces it with this 150 page bill. (And the replacement bill includes some of the provisions in the original bill, such as allowing "kids" to stay on their parents insurance until age 26, and what knot.)
Amash voted for increased North Korean sanctions today, too.
Massie was the lone dissenting vote.

Just took a look at his social media, it funny watching drooling slobs melt down over this.
I don't agree with the vote but whatever. It is kind of amazing how worked up people get. It looks like Jim Jordan and Mulvaney were pretty adamant that he vote for the bill. There are always a lot of considerations on these votes. Just not a big deal. I think the only way to avoid a filibuster is to pass this bill and perhaps there is some consideration that it will be improved in the Senate. Although I do have to say, this bill looks like it is pretty loathsome to every political group.

“I don’t think that there will be any curtailing of Donald Trump as president,” he said. "He controls the media, he controls the sentiment [and] he controls everybody. He’s the one who will resort to executive orders more so than [President] Obama ever used them." - Ron Paul
There's a difference between reducing something bad and replacing it with something also bad. Like Rand pointed out this puts the GOP on the record as supporting subsidies of Insurance Companies. It would be like if they repealed part of a gun ban and at the same time voted for another gun ban. Not cool. Not the same as reducing regulations and funding.
Who cares about actually governing and continuing to prop up the way this crooked political system works? Nothing good comes of these stupid compromises.
When Obama was president the Republican Congress passed a clean Obamacare repeal. They could have passed that same bill just by getting the people who already voted for it to vote for it again. And if they're not willing to vote for it, it should have been brought up for a vote just to make them go on record with their hypocrisy.
