Remember that victory lap Democrat took on ObamaCare’s repeal and replacement?
Well, it just might have been a tad premature.
From Peter Sullivan’s article at thehill.com:
As you may recall, the repeal of ObamaCare, which required a majority senate vote, failed earlier this summer because every one of the 48 Democrat senators voted against it, and were joined by 3 of the 52 Republicans – one of them John McCain (which makes his “you think I wouldn’t be” in favor of this new attempt, as if it hadn’t happened before, sound ridiculous, doesn’t it?)
Well, if the same vote were taken today – with McCain on board and, let’s not forget, Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) on trial for corruption thus unable to vote – it would pass.
Does that mean that repeal/replace legislation has smooth sailing ahead? No it does not, as the article makes clear further on. But does it mean there is a genuine, realistic shot that the unworkable monstrosity known as ObamaCare might finally be done away with? Absolutely yes.
Keep your fingers crossed that repeal and replace happens. And keep them crossed that the replacement is better too – because there are no guarantees on either.
