Time and opportunity still exist to replace Obamacare.
I reported in January that a number of conservative groups, under the leadership of former Sen. Rick Santorum, was working hard to craft a new Obamacare replacement that could both pass Congress and work well in the real world.
As this is exactly the demographic that suffers the most under Obamacare, it might be slightly less likely, not more, to oppose the GOP if Republicans do actually pass reform.
Giving conservative voters a "Win" on Obamacare would surely drive up Republican turnout.
Under the original Graham-Cassidy bill, the formula for the block grants was seen by some as disfavoring states that already expanded Medicaid coverage under Obamacare.
Politically, the effort got a huge boost when Democrats killed efforts to include an Obamacare insurance bailout within the recent budget agreement and spending bills.
Organizers hope Americans sick of the broken Obamacare system will start calling their members of Congress now, urging them to try again.
