**On the roster: It isn’t TrumpCare, after all - Trumps blesses more politics in the pulpit - Gowdy warns Rice: Testify or face subpoena - I’ll Tell You What: Live bills and dead parrots - Looks like somebody’s got a case of the MondaysIT ISN’T TRUMPCARE, AFTER ALLIf the House, as promised, passes a bill today that would make sweeping changes to the laws regulating the health insurance industry and benefit programs for the working poor what shall we call it? This note had been going with “TrumpCare” since President Trump and his fellow Republicans rolled out the first draft two months ago. The past year was the first time that the already seven-year-old law put much bite into the fines for non-compliance. The toothless mandate meant that the young, healthy and highly profitable customers promised to insurance providers did not materialize in sufficient numbers. For that reason, it isn’t really fitting anymore to call this “TrumpCare.” Republicans instead are trying to figure out how much they can cut ObamaCare in order to deliver the tax cuts they want.
