What Went Down On Health Care This Week

Between the two major votes on alternatives to Obamacare — last night’s on BCRA and today’s on repeal and delay — we have the following breakdown of GOP votes:

• 3 Republicans who voted against both BCRA and repeal (Collins, Heller, Murkowski)
• 4 Republicans who voted for BCRA but against repeal (Alexander, Capito, McCain, Portman)
• 6 Republicans who voted for repeal but against BCRA (Corker, Cotton, Graham, Lee, Moran, Paul)
• And 39 Republicans who voted for both BCRA and repeal (everyone else)

It’s quite a mess. And yet, McConnell would still seem to stand a chance of getting “skinny repeal” passed, even though nobody’s quite sure what bill would emerge once it came back from conference with the House.
