Trump Tweets, Pressuring House Freedom Caucus to Support GOP Health Insurance Bill
Uses Planned Parenthood funding as leverage
So I take it they still don’t have the votes, then.
The irony is that the Freedom Caucus, which is very pro-life and against Planned Parenthood, allows P.P. to continue if they stop this plan!

Just because there are a few good things mixed in does not change a turd to a chocolate truffle.
On January 8, 2016, President Obama vetoed a repeal of Obamacare’s budgetary provisions passed under reconciliation. Ryan said at the time, “Next year, if we’re sending this bill to a Republican president, it will get signed into law.” Presumably Ryan said “if” to mean “if I had a Republican president,” not “if I feel like holding another vote,” which apparently now he doesn’t.
