Republican foes of health care bill win praise in districts quoting : ABC News

In the districts of the bill's foes, Republican voters and activists faulted Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin. One of the House Republican rebels, Kentucky Rep. Tom Massie, wasn't just "no" on the GOP health care bill to replace Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act. The House bill had already divided GOP senators and would have required major changes to pass. That's why he was happy to see Tennessee Rep. Scott DesJarlais oppose it. Defying President Donald Trump on the seven-year Republican Party promise to repeal and replace "Obamacare" sounds like political suicide, especially in the congressional districts Trump won handily.

This is Americans' best chance to improve their health care

Mark Zitter is chair of the Zetema Project, a diverse group of health care leaders informing the national health care conversation through expert debate. So we have the happy situation — rare in health care — where informed patients want better care that actually costs less. But in a political environment where major progress seems hard to come by, this may be our best near-term shot to improve U.S. health care. The fundamental problem is simple: Americans want to consume more health care than we collectively want to pay for. But there is one exception to this rule, one place where it's possible to deliver better health care, make patients more satisfied, and save money: Care at the end of life.
