Rep. Mike Coffman (R-CO) announced Thursday that he would not support Republicans’ effort to repeal and replace Obamacare as it currently stands. The vote is scheduled for Thursday afternoon.

The centrist Republican was at the receiving end of a packed town hall full of angry constituents after his support of Republicans’ first repeal attempt, which failed to receive a vote in the House.

He posted a statement explaining his “No” vote on his Twitter page, writing that he worried “a small percentage of those with preexisting conditions may not be adequately protected” under the amended bill.

4. As a Coloradoan I can tell you he voted no because he stands a good

chance of losing his seat in 2018. He's a slimy weasel was just hoping to save it ... he has done enough to piss off people in his district already ... sneaking out of "town halls", refusing to have meetings and then having a town hall with restrictions.
