Chuck Todd is reporting that he’s got it on good authority that at least three Republicans will come out today announcing their opposition to the McConnell bill.
Per solid source: at least 3 GOP sens (perhaps more) plan to announce public opposition to McConnell health bill later today. Developing

This doesn’t sound far fetched to me at all considering what we’ve been hearing about the bill so far.
Here’s a video of Rand Paul suggesting he might be one of the three:

This is, by the way, the only way we have to make the bill better. I hope it ends up being more Republicans than just three, but that is enough to kill it – without Democrat help.
