TRUMPCARE FAILS: Senate Kills Obamacare Replacement Bill. So, Who’s To Blame?

On Monday evening, Senators Mike Lee (R-UT) and Jerry Moran (R-KS) announced they would oppose a motion to proceed on the Trumpcare bill pushed by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY). Lee opposes the bill because it doesn’t actually repeal Obamacare, instead re-enshrining its central principles while changing cost structure and boosting subsidies. Moran explained:

We should not put our stamp of approval on bad policy. Furthermore, if we leave the federal government in control of everyday healthcare decisions, it is more likely that our healthcare system will devolve into a single-payer system, which would require a massive federal spending increase.
