Opinion in Brief
Jonah Goldberg: "With 52 GOP senators, Graham-Cassidy can only pass if at least 50 of them vote for it, and they must do so before Sept. 30, when the arcane budget window known as 'reconciliation' closes. ... Heritage Action for America has grumbled, rightly, that Graham-Cassidy doesn't repeal all of the Obamacare taxes. But the choice for Republicans isn't between this and a better reform. It's between this or letting Obamacare continue intact, violating all of those repeal-and-replace promises entirely. That's what's so silly about the claim that Graham-Cassidy is as 'extreme' as Sanders' radical and shoddily written proposal (the bill is totally silent on how to pay for any of it). Graham-Cassidy is very close to the kind of legislation we would have ended up with if Republicans had an idea of what they wanted from the get-go and the Democrats were interested in compromise. But we live in a time when extremism is defined as not getting everything you want."
