Stop blaming Mike Lee and start working with him
The Senate GOP is once again attempting to not-quite-repeal Obamacare, an effort that has been in fits and starts since the introduction of the Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA) two weeks ago. With their last-ditch effort to address Obamacare in peril, senior GOP leadership has begun casting around for someone to blame. Though the bill has seen widespread opposition across the GOP conference — for the moderates, the bill does too much, for the conservatives, too little — a recent article in Politico makes clear that GOP leadership is attempting to blame one senator, in particular, for the bill’s delay: Senator Mike Lee, R-Utah.
