Figured we should have one place were we can track the vote. I'll try to come up with a master list latter tonight.

Pretty big for one of Trump's early Congressional endorsers to come out against it.

[Santander]

What a cuck reason to oppose.

[Gass3268]

Tom Cotton still against the Bill:

Oh man I hope Coffman and Issa vote for this bill.

According to NBC: 26 House Republicans are "opposed/leaning strongly" against AHCA:

That's it, then. If 26 is the baseline, it can't pass

Surprised to see Barletta, the proto-Trump, come out against. His reasoning is logical for someone with his views, though

Voting against it won't save them though. The Dems that voted against the ACA perished in the tsunami that was 2010.

Oh I know, but its even better if they vote for it.

[Middle-aged Europe]

Barletta's reason for opposing the bill is hilariously stupid, but I take every no vote. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

No, if this bill fails Paul Ryan will be exposed for the hack fraud he really is. Every no vote counts.

The Senate looks much more brutal, but even with that it looks like even the House looks close.

Isn't the House GOP setting itself up for a rough midterm if they vote to pass this, knowing it will almost surely fail in the Senate? They will have tons of their members on record voting for a bill that would have eventually left tens of millions without insurance, significantly reduced Medicaid funding and delivered a large tax cut to the wealthy.

If they can't wrangle up the votes in the Senate, then I can't see an upside to voting for this.

they've set themselves for an interesting midterm no matter what because of how hard they're pushing this bill. I get a feeling of Hillarycare from this.

Looks like Republicans will have to drag this process out for much longer than they would have wanted.  Fantastic!

[Middle-aged Europe]

Kill the bill!

So what happens if it's voted down in the House?  Do we get a Plan B on health reform, or does the GOP simply move on to some other issue?

According to Trump if this thing fails then there won't be a plan B an instead blame the dems for when Obamacare "implodes"

Their entire agenda gets f'ed. They were planning on tackling tax reforms, an equally contentious issue, after their healthcare bill, and the current plan on tackling that is contingent upon their Obamacare replacement successfully being passed through budget reconciliation.

Aka do nothing, pretend they did something, take credit for Obamacare's success.

My understanding is that they can still do tax reform without this, except that any tax cuts passed through reconciliation would have to be temporary, with a 10 year time horizon.  Not their preferred course, but I'm guessing that they'll go for temporary tax cuts rather than no tax cuts.

Is the Thursday vote a 100% final up-or-down vote?

At least 20-25 hard no votes in House is the view of one plugged-in member of Freedom Caucus as of 4pm today
