The Freedom-From-Reality Caucus: GOP Faction May Kill the Only Chance to Repeal ObamaCare


WALL STREET JOURNAL - The House GOP yanked its health-care bill on Thursday ahead of a planned vote, and perhaps they’ll reconvene on Friday or later. But as Republicans contemplate wasting this historic reform opportunity, they should start thinking about the costs and responsibility of failure. The real obstacle to progress has been the 29 or so Members of the House Freedom Caucus, who have the power to deny Mr. Ryan a majority of 216 with a mere 22-vote margin of error. The Freedom Caucus blocked incremental reform progress after the GOP took Congress under President Obama, and the question is whether they will indulge the same rule-or-ruin tactics now against Mr. Trump. As he’s asked the Freedom Caucus holdouts—we’ll paraphrase—you’ve won multiple elections on repealing and replacing ObamaCare, and then voted more than 90 times for symbolic repeal you knew Mr. Obama would veto.
