That's one possible outcome, yes.

Edifying, isn't it?

Hopefully Trump throws a hissy fit, falls to the floor flailing his arms and legs crying on national TV and the men in white coats carry him off, never to be seen again.

Neither president sought to name the plan after themselves; both presidents, unsurprisingly, have seen the proposals colloquially known after them. "


Five ways Donald Trump's healthcare plan is different from Obamacare

"Trump headed out to Kentucky Monday night for a campaign rally where he did mention his plan or, rather, the things he wants to do after his plan is passed.

There was no particular discussion about the specifics in the measure, which is headed for a vote on Thursday, or even its general merits. That’s probably because nobody in particular seems to like it, even after Speaker Paul Ryan and his team pinned a suite of policy revisions onto its tail Monday.

Today, Trump headed to the Hill to urge Republican lawmakers to pass his plan – not so much for what’s in it but for its political necessity and its importance for him personally."

Because that's just what americans want their health plan(s) to do - benefit Trump rather than themselves.

Still too close to call this morning. Not looking great for TrumpCare passing, but I'm not going out on a limb to declare it's dead either.

This is a good round up of all the counts from different sources

Now that TrumpCare is dead, I have to wonder whether there were any lessons learned by the Administration and if they will manage to have any legislative successes going forward.
