Opinion: House Democrats’ health-care bill hurts Trump and Bernie
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi walks to a Democratic caucus meeting at the Capitol on Tuesday.

What have the Republicans got? Nothing except a desire to obliterate all of the ACA. If they whine that the Democrats’ plan is too expensive, Democrats are likely to suggest clawing back some of the tax cuts for the rich, which were so unpopular Republicans could not run on their handiwork in 2018.
