Trumpcare 2.0 is in the works. The first attempt to repeal and replace Obamacare with Trumpcare was so bad and so opposed that it failed before even coming to a vote.

For a short while it seemed the President had learn and would work with Democrats and moderate Republicans to find a good replacement. Then he decided to skip healthcare and move on to tax reform.

But now it looks like Trumpcare is back and it’s even worse. Instead of taking a reasonable course the Republican house leadership decided to modify Trumpcare to minimize hard-right opposition but in the process we may have a Trumpcare that more moderate Republicans cannot support. At least that is what I hope.

The new trick appears to be making Obamacare’s protections optional with the state and hoping moderates or the public do not notice.

The Trumpcare 2.0 plan is coming and it’s worse – so be ready.
