Passing House healthcare bill was a symbolic exercise.GOP made the mistake of giving up after the first attempt to vote on a bill.They realized that was a mistake.The bill had to stay alive,consequently,it had to be revived,if even in name only.
They now had to pass a House bill,even if it would be only a token.That's probably how they acquired the votes,revealing that intent.
There is no plan to have a Senate vote.They can't have a Senate vote until after the 2018 election.The GOP can't gamble on losing congressional seats.That explains the celebration after the House vote.That was the goal.
A healthcare bill will be seriously considered in 2019.Things will be considerably different by that time.
