A Nebraska Congressman suggests Republicans try a less-ambitious effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.
Congressman Adrian Smith advocates a step-by-step replacement of the ACA, rather than attempting everything in one bill. That, even though Smith supported the bill which was pulled prior to the vote. . .

Smith says members of the Freedom Caucus weren’t the only group withholding support from the measure. . .

Smith says full repeal and replace may have been too big a target.
