http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/two-more-health-care-defections-dooms-current-gop-bill-n783926please read 2nd paragraph, .............at link...
WASHINGTON Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell acknowledged Monday night that he lacked the votes to pass the Senate health care bill after two more Republican senators came out against it, leaving the party short of a majority.
Instead, he said the Senate would vote on a full repeal of Obamacare, with two years before the repeal goes into effect to allow time to create a new system. The new plan may appear to fulfill a seven-year GOP promise, but it faces extremely difficult odds after many moderate Republican senators have already come out against repeal without an immediate replacement.

According to this, moderate Republican senators have already come out against this.".repeal without replacement" ... They would have to change their stance...not likely because Turtle is throwing this at them with no notice, no debate, no hearings etc.....they are already opposed to this...on the record...and now Turtle is forcing the issue.. Turtle looses and gets this out of the way for other business...(maybe that is why this is happening...clear the table..and move on)................
Nothing changes if the moderate Repubican senators, already opposed to this way of doing things, stay on track. That is ...No replacement....its over...This is dead..and dead is dead....We will see if those moderates are able to stay with what they said..

So the Turtle has got to push this crap one more time...in 2 days...take it or leave it....So will the moderate Republican senators who have already said no, change their minds?...I hope they stay true to their words, but we will find out soon.
