Despite Paul’s aversion to Graham-Cassidy, many Republicans are for it. Both the White House and the President fully endorsed the proposed reform. Other Republicans have yet to speak out against it. In order for Graham-Cassidy to successfully repeal and replace Obamacare, a total of 50 votes (including a vote from Vice President Pence) are required by September 30. If the GOP fails to secure the needed support, they will need 60 votes without any filibusters. Supporters of Graham-Cassidy note that the proposal terminates Medicaid enlargement and insurance endowments.
What happens going further remains to be seen. Additional reports will follow as new developments arise.
