This according to Rep Reed(D-NY) a week or so ago on Chris Hayes. Reed said something to the effect that by
Ny & Ca requiring abortion coverage in policies, those states' citizens could not be not be covered by this Republican/ Trump health bill, which categorically denies coverage for abortion.

So, even tho it specifically blows up all federal support for New Yorkers & Californians , these NY (including Reed) and Ca Repug Reps voted for it anyway pretty much in lockstep. Even like Issa and Rohrbacker who are in blue turning districts.

Go figure the level of stupidity beyond the sheer cruelty of these monsters.
