Republicans Relive Healthcare Nightmare 

“Republicans suffered through a recurring nightmare this week: their inability to replace or at least unwind the Affordable Care Act, President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare program,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“For the past decade, President Trump and the party have raged against the 2010 law, only to see legislative attempts to decouple it from the American economy fail. This week was no different, as a Republican proposal to replace ACA subsidies with sending federal funds directly to some households for out-of-pocket healthcare costs failed to advance in the Republican-controlled Senate.”

“For some Republican lawmakers, a sense of déjà vu took hold this past week amid worries that the issue might once again cost the party its political majorities.”
