Republicans who tried to ram a slipshod replacement for Obamacare through the House unveiled a set of amendments to the bill Tuesday, and they're hoping against hope that lawmakers originally opposed to the legislation will now vote for it, CNN reports.Those pushing to pass the American Health Care Act (AHCA)—a Republican alternative to Obamacare that nearly everyone agrees is total garbage—have about 48 hours to drum up as much support as they can get for the bill before the House votes on it Thursday. With these new tweaks to the AHCA—plus Trump's support, House Speaker Paul Ryan's charm and gusto, and a little luck—the thinking goes that they might be able to get the bill to the Senate.There's a score of changes that've been tacked on to the AHCA, which Politico outlines in depth, but the big alterations have to do with tax credits and Medicaid funding. Some Republican legislators wary of the bill complained that it would screw over the elderly. It's since been amended to provide older Americans with $85 billion in tax credits, which could offset that group's healthcare costs.Other lawmakers wanted their states to have an option to receive federal Medicaid funding as a lump sum, which wouldn't change if more people sign up for the program (or ditch it). Now, states have more freedom to choose that option, and will also have the right to require able-bodied Medicaid recipients to work if they choose.The AHCA—drawn up in a span of weeks by right-wing leadership, then literally hidden from representatives in a basement, then torn to shit by elected officials on both sides of the aisle—looks fated to forever smolder on the ash heap of history. Conservatives hate it. Not a single Democrat plans to vote for it. Hospitals don't want it. Even Ann Coulter called it a "piece of crap." All these contingents take different issues with the AHCA, but the crux of the issue here is that Trump promised to repeal and replace Obamacare with something that would cover everybody in the country and that every American could afford. And the AHCA, even with these new amendments, fails to deliver on that promise.Follow Drew Schwartz on Twitter.
