HA HA HA HA HA!!!! Ryan heads to White House

http://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/325639-ryan-heads-to-wh-to-brief-trump-on-healthcare-bill

Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) headed to the White House on Friday afternoon to brief President Trump on the status of the ObamaCare repeal bill just hours before a pivotal House vote.

The bill, titled the American Health Care Act, is facing stiff resistance from both conservative and moderate Republican lawmakers.

GOP leaders are struggling to assemble enough votes to pass the measure, and if Friday’s afternoon’s vote fails, it would be a major blow to both Ryan and Trump.

It's insane, but some conservatives want LESS people covered.

Some are saying the bill is TOO progressive.

Then some moderates are saying it's Medicaid expansion cuts are too severe. These moderates actually care.

More than we can imagine I think.

Wonder if he will counter drumph with threats of independent investigations?

Highly doubtful that he can muster the nerve but perhaps he's had enough threats for his liking?
