GOP abandons vote on health care repeal after CBO predicts 22 million would lose insurance

Barely. 51% is certainly more than half, but it’s hardly a mandate, and it means that roughly half the country doesn’t like it. One of the greatest failures of Obama and the Democrats with the ACA is that they allowed the detractors to control the narrative about it. By limiting the details to the last minute, I think McConnell thought he could control it better. Now that it’s delayed, that’s more unlikely.
