GOP pessimism rising on ObamaCare repeal

Senate Republicans are returning to Washington increasingly pessimistic about their plan to repeal and replace ObamaCare.
They’ve had to put off plans for a vote next week, and they’ve seen loyal members either double down on their opposition to the bill, or at least question whether they will back it.

Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kansas)—a “no” vote that took many in Washington by surprise—distanced himself the closed-door process used to draft the Senate bill.

“It takes two parties who want to come together. Not just Republicans. Not just Democrats,” he said during a polite, but pointed, meeting with constituents in rural Kansas.

Asked if he could support the bill, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) told constituents that “I don't know if we're even going to get a bill up,” according to the Des Moines Register.
