“Heck, even the acronyms for this Obamacare replacement (officially the Affordable Care Act, or ACA), was only a single letter off the replacement.(AHCA – big deal)

But here’s the worst part of all: Most of the opposition to the bill wasn’t for being too liberal. It was for being too CONSERVATIVE.
As Unbiased America noted:

The vast majority of opposition to Paul Ryan’s healthcare bill was from representatives who thought it was too conservative (i.e. it went too far in reducing subsidies), including 193 Democrats and at least 6 Republicans. Only about 18 representatives, all Republican, opposed it because it was too liberal (i.e. it didn’t go far enough in repealing Obamacare).”

Other counts had 25 from the freedom caucus opposing it. Whether 18 or 25, when added to 6 other Republicans, that left only 208 to 215 votes in favor. With all Democrats voting no (look at that party discipline !), Republicans could only lose 23 votes and still pass it.

It is apparently too heavy a burden for Republicans to carry alone. They need a bipartisan bill. That means more compromise with liberals and a less conservative bill.
