“We aren’t stupid” two Senate aides told Axios. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is not even letting other senators see the GOP Senate’s “repeal and replace” Obamacare bill. They plan to submit it to the Congressional Budget Office before making it public.. The vote may happen before or just after the July 4 recess. Despite the bill being a secret, one reporter claims moderates are winning and conservatives are losing.

Dear Senator McConnell,
I am writing to you regarding your upcoming “repeal and replace” Obamacare bill, and our strong preference for legislation that advances patient and doctor freedom, rather than a bill that maintains Obamacare’s federal control of health care.

With the American Health Care Act again in jeopardy—it’s a Republican version of Obamacare 2.0 anyway, says Twila Brase of Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom (CCHF, www.cchfreedom.org)—several senators are calling for full repeal rather than a replacement that still compromises Americans’ health freedom.
It was a refreshingly frank interview. The Washington Post interviewed U.S. Rep. Tom MacArthur (R-N.J.) after he resigned — ironically on Tuesday, May 23 — as co-chair of the Tuesday Group in a flare-up over Obamacare.
Republicans are running out of time. The U.S. Senate must act soon to repeal every word of Obamacare. Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) told The Hill, “We could repeal all of Obamacare … I just don’t buy the fact that we can’t do that.” I agree.

ST. PAUL, Minn.—The U.S. House of Representatives today passed the amended American Health Care Act (AHCA), but before the bill goes to the U.S. Senate, Citizens' Council for Health Freedom (CCHF) is reminding lawmakers and Americans alike that AHCA is still government-controlled health care. ACHA does NOT repeal Obamacare.
