Krauthammer: ObamaCare Repeal Failure Not Just a ‘Promise Betrayed’ But a ‘Complete Inability to Govern’

‘Particularly you’ve been arguing for something for seven years, it arrives and you are then unprepared’

EXCERPT:

KRAUTHAMMER: “I think it’s ruined. This is not just a promise betrayed. It is a complete inability to govern, particularly when you’ve been arguing for something for seven years. It arrives and you are then unprepared. That’s why I think it has to come back. And I think the time it comes back is in the fall when you get the new numbers and new premiums coming out. They’re going to be much higher, there will be fewer choices. Far more insurers are going to be withdrawing from the exchanges and they are going to be in the state of collapse. At that point, I think that there will be an opportunity. I think what they have to do — here’s the irony. Among the Republicans in the House, including the Freedom Caucus, there would have been a general consensus on what we want to do but the leadership decided to tailor the legislation to fit the niceties of the reconciliation rules in the Senate. That makes no sense at all."
