The only reason to rush it is because they have been telling people that it was a bad program, that it needed to be replaced and they had a plan on how to do it.It was an awful bill and should be tabled. The Dems force fed an awful bill in Obamacare and look at what we have now, there is zero reason to rush this. Obamacare failing is around the Dems necks, trying to fix Obamacare would just put the noose on the GOP.
Tax cuts didn't depend on it though. They just wanted to get healthcare done first. They can table this and move on to tax cuts with the FY17 budget and do healthcare in the FY18. Tax cuts are something that can get done easily, they all agree on that.
The GOP have the three branches of power and all they can say is: never mind, we need more time to do it. Why didn't they use the last 6 years to come up with a good healthcare bill? The GOP just needs to tell the tea party to GFY and partner with the moderate democrats to come up with a good bill
