Obamacare repeal is on the brink of coming back from the dead.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and his leadership team are seriously considering voting on a bill that would scale back the federal government’s role in the health care system and instead provide block grants to states, congressional and Trump administration sources said.
It would be a last-ditch attempt to repeal Obamacare before the GOP’s power to pass health care legislation through a party-line vote in the Senate expires on Sept. 30.
McConnell says that he will bring this up for a vote if he can get fifty Senators to support it.
So far he does not have that many, but they are just now ramping up the pressure.
For those who are wondering here is a breakdown of how bad this bill will be for the American people.

They are trying to push this through under the radar so we need to make as much noise as possible.
