According to The Hill whip count, as of tonight, 21 GOP reps have committed to NO votes on the AHCA (Trumpscare). Magic number is 22. There are 65 holdouts, some of them moderates who voted NO the first time. I suppose there will be a delay in the count as the remaining critters jockey for NOT being the deciding vote, but if the negative sentiment holds and we do get to 22 noes and beyond, I say bring on the vote and roast that sucker out of existence.
Amongst the undecideds are many Freedom Caucus members who voted NO the first time, but are expected to vote YES on this one. But there are still centrists left who have not committed yet. I’m hazarding a guess here, but the following might be worth focusing on (of course, all reps outstanding are worth calling). Please correct me if some of these are not as centrist as would seem, or if I’ve missed any on the site list.
Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (Fla.) — A centrist, Diaz-Balart voted to advance the first bill in the House Budget Committee but said he had "serious concerns.
Rep. John Faso (N.Y.) — Faso was undecided on the first bill and expressed concerns about removing minimum insurer coverage requirements.

Rep. Pete King (N.Y.) — King was leaning no on the first bill.
Rep. Steve Knight (Calif.) — Knight was undecided on the first bill.
Rep. Doug LaMalfa (Calif.) — LaMalfa was undecided on the first bill.

Only one more folks! If the committed noes hold, then, c’mon Ryan. Bring it and pass me the cranberry sauce.

[update] As this was being put together, the bill was withdrawn, as TBM pointed out in the thread. So the count is moot — for now.
