The resistance movement killed the Republican health care bill

Earlier this month, while the Senate was on recess for July 4th, Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS) held a town hall in a small Kansas town, not far from his hometown. In a deep red town with less than 300 people, Moran heard about the problems with his party’s Obamacare replacement bill from an audience of more than 100 vocal constituents, including his daughters’ pediatrician.

Eleven days later, Moran announced with his colleague, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), that the two would not be supporting the Senate health care bill. The move effectively killed the legislation and dealt a major blow to the Republican Party’s promise to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
