GOP Health Care Bill Still Stalled

Playbook: “At this moment, senior Senate Republican aides seem skeptical this will turn the process around. In our conversations, one theme keeps coming up: much of the opposition to the bill is fundamental. Many senators don’t like how it was put together, and say it’s the product of a bad process. Take Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-KY) interview with the Post‘s Bob Costa. He says he would support a bill — as long as it does not block grant funds to states. In other words, he would support a bill, as long as it’s not this bill. Momentum is everything on Capitol Hill. And right now, this bill does not have momentum.”
