It's not just senate dems, b/c it's officially a budget bill, some of that stuff might get thrown out due to procedural stuff because certain things don't go in budget bills; then it's someone's fault you've never heard of but obviously is working for obama to undermine trump or whatever the hell nonsense they come up with.
That was heller (R-NV) in a vulnerable seat for him for the 18 election. From what I can tell at least the framework of his plan is different though, he wants states to be able to decide so blue states can keep obamacare, red states don't have to. Of course, idk the particulars afterwards (ie medicaid/medicare funding gutting) and all that but at least on the surface it's a reasonable discussion which is way ahead of whatever the hell the house **** ends up being, the worse it gets the more yes votes they get, standard. (still some R's in the senate are on full repeal or bust like rand paul)
It's pretty clear the R's can't agree so it's far better for americans to just give up on that **** and improve the existing ACA but trump proved once again winning in politics is about grandstanding not substance.
