"Republicans like Nebraskan Ben Sasse are desperately trying to salvage the situation. He admitted that Trump's latest tweet was "not normal," and then proposed repealing the ACA -- with a one year delay in implementation. Trump seemed to like the idea, tweeting "if Republican senators are unable to pass what they are working on now, they should immediately repeal, and then replace at a later date!"
Perhaps Sasse's idea could work, though it's unlikely Republicans would support such a decision, given that more people would be harmed by a complete repeal without replace than the current health care bill in the Senate. According to a study by Brookings, Sasse's approach would mean that 30 million more people would lose health insurance by 2019 -- 82% of whom would be working families.
If the bill fails, a large part of the burden will rest squarely on his shoulders. This is something the elephants in Congress certainly won't forget"
" 82% of whom would be working families", just to reiterate .
