The Senate is back this week and Republican leaders are once again looking for votes for their health care plan. It’s a tough sell for lots of reasons. The bill tips towards conservatives and moderates say no. Rewrite the language so that moderates are happy -- and the conservatives bolt. And it only takes three GOP no votes for this bill to fail.
Both the Senate bill, and the House counterpart, are supposed to be about repealing the Affordable Care Act. But for Indian Country there is something else at stake, jobs.
