"Obamacare repeal" is like cancer that keeps coming back. We have had to use heavy chemo and radiation to survive so far.
Obamacare repeal isn’t so much dead as it is cryogenically frozen. It will return if, or when, the necessary factors align: a fresh budget resolution next year; a strong 2018 showing, to pad the margin of their majority; Arizona Sen. John McCain getting the process he desires; and so on. A seven-year promise foundational to the identity of a major political party doesn’t die. It just recedes.
There had been some murmuring in the Capitol the past couple of days that Republicans might try to pass tax reform and Obamacare repeal in a combined bill later this year. Republican leaders, though, shut that talk down Tuesday. They are not so silly as to imperil tax cuts—the only thing they really care about—by linking its fate with a health care effort that’s failed time and again these past several months.
