Is US Political Polarization Turning a Corner?
Last week the Republicans tried three times to pass some sort of repeal to the ACA (Obamacare) along party lines. In our last podcast episode we talk about the complex forces and rules that caused these three attempts to fail.
Politically, this much failure is dangerous. Trump and the GOP are looking for a much-needed legislative win. Trump accused the GOP of being “total quitters” if they abandoned another repeal bill. But right now, they just don’t have the votes.
So health reform is dead until someone gets a larger Senate majority, right?
Well, maybe not.
