More of that right wing rage we hear so much about all the damned time

Conservatives furious and plotting revenge for health-care fail

Conservatives are furious – furious – that Senate Republicans got close to repealing big parts of Obamacare and are now on the verge of walking away from the effort altogether, possibly leaving President Obama’s health-care law on the books for the foreseeable future.

. . . .

At least four centrist Republicans -- Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia and Rob Portman of Ohio – have said they’ll vote against even starting debate on the measure without a better ACA replacement ready to go. 

That’s got conservatives seething, and plotting their revenge.

. . . .

In the end, it was two conservatives – Sens. Mike Lee of Utah and Jerry Moran of Kansas – who became the third and fourth senators to come out against the Senate’s Better Care Reconciliation Act.

Because it was not conservative enough.

Too much "replace," not enough "repeal".

Yet conservatives are still placing the blame on moderate senators, who were uncomfortable with how the bill would have phased out Medicaid expansion and enacted deeper underlying cuts to the program.

More moderates were unwilling, at the end of the day, to repeal Obamacare’s health-coverage expansions than conservatives had bargained for, Heritage Action spokesman Dan Holler said.

“There was just no sense in the Senate negotiations that the more moderate or liberal Republicans had a desire to get to yes,” Holler said.

They - and Trump personally - are already talking about primarying people.

Of course, what the conservatives wanted and still want is far tougher than even what the House passed, that Trump, who promised to the end wonderful and cheap coverage for everybody, had labeled "mean".

Screw them and their goddamned rage.
