29 Solid No Votes From Republicans On GOP Health Care Bill (Updated to 30)

Source: DECISION DESK

Below is the Decision Desk HQ whip count for the vote on the American Health Care Act to reform ObamaCare.

Positions are changing rapidly as we near a potential vote on the bill tomorrow, so this post will likely be updated.

There are additional votes out there that are likely no votes at this point but we’ve tried to be conservative in our tally and only included links to statements where members clearly announced opposition to the bill. There may be some changes to the bill on the floor tomorrow depending upon which, if any, amendments the House Rules Committee allows votes on.

All Democratic members are expected to vote no, so all Representatives listed are Republicans. There are currently 4 vacancies in the House, so the number needed to pass the measure in 216. Republicans can afford to lose 22 of their own members and still pass the measure.

1. looks like most of those will vote no because the bill ain't crazy enough

Ryan has really put his buddies in a damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario.
For that we thank him.

2. At this point...

I don't care why they vote no - only that there are enough of them that do so.

This will be a big FAIL to sit in Trump's lap. I believe that his supporters will not like it going down in flames.

5. I agree - and Paulie and Benedict Donald have really hit on a issue

that could split those greedy bastards.

4. I heard afternoon at one point today, but have no idea

I have a feeling the clock will stand still until they can try to hustle up some votes.
