So the latest GOP "plan" is to bribe members with a $75 billion sweetener... but no plan how to spend it
just throw the ball to the senate. Republicons are totally useless incompetent dickheads

their only plan is to kill Obamacare... then they would probably use the $75 billion as a slush fund

GOP leaders pile on sweeteners to sell Obamacare repeal
The revisions are part of a last-ditch effort to get the measure passed.

House Republican leaders are poised to release Monday evening an expansive series of changes to their Obamacare repeal bill in a last-ditch attempt to win enough support to get the bill passed.

Requested by President Donald Trump, the amendment includes perks for restive conservatives who wanted optional work requirements and block granting in Medicaid, as well as a potential olive branch to wary centrists who demanded more help for older Americans to buy insurance, POLITICO has learned.

The amendment would establish a reserve fund of at least $75 billion for tax credits to help the core constituency that propelled Trump to the White House: Americans between 50 and 64, who would see their premiums skyrocket under the current repeal plan. But the amendment would not set up the tax credits – it would instruct the Senate to do so, forcing House Republicans to take a vote on something the upper chamber would do later.

The amendment is also expected to repeal Obamacare's taxes a year earlier than originally planned, a win for conservatives who want to eliminate the Affordable Care Act as quickly a possible.
