Mitch McConnell told the attendees at the Republican Retreat that there is "no way forward" on the Obamacare Repeal. Time to move on to other issues.

actually like the current status quo fostered by the Trump innumeracy on the Cost Sharing Reduction (CSR) subsidies.
If you live in one of the 20 mostly Blue states that are arranging their state insurance markets to take advantage of Trump's innumeracy, you can now get a tremendous bargain on a Bronze plan. In my zip code (WA) you can get a free (i.e., premium of $0/month after subsidy) Bronze Plan with an income of up to $41,000/yr. Why worry about paying the penalty for the "individual mandate" when you can just sign up for a free health care policy?
If you live in a RED State where policy decisions appear to be informed by racism, bigotry, ignorance and innumeracy, you're paying through the nose for your health insurance and rural hospitals are closing in the Red States that have forgone the Obamacare Medicaid expansion. There's real justice in that -- Trumpers are getting what they voted for -- racism and ignorance.
