The spineless GOP are less concerned with doing their jobs and primarily worried about losing their jobs and/or being "primaried" by Deceitful Donald who knows no bottom. Trump will blame "Obamacare" for his own lack of action on this and his failure to ever produce a healthcare plan beyond the one that doesn't (and never did) exist, one that he has been paying lip service to for over a decade. Trump has no plan beyond blaming and blowing smoke up everyone's backside. Republicans are not showing much in the way of interest in striking any sort of deal or compromise with the Democrats.
