The Affordable Care Act repeal attempt by the House GOP was a major fail even while the party's majority was by 47 seats.
It's going to be much harder for the House GOP to pull off a repeal this time around even if it tries even attempting at chipping away. The tiny margin of seats the House GOP has over House Democrats gives me serious doubt they're going to even get anything done with this.
Take for instance Rep. David Valadao. He survived re-election a few weeks ago but voted for repealing the ACA back in 2017. He had handfuls of constituents reaching out with questions about his vote and if their healthcare was going to be taken away. He ended up losing re-election in the 2018 midterms.
Mike Lawler is another moderate House Republican like Valadao who is likely going to face serious pressure like Valadao did if he's going to consider voting yes on another ACA repeal. If he votes YES, he doesn't have a chance at winning re-election in 2026.
