A roundup of editorials Thursday takes a look at the Graham-Cassidy health care proposal. Will the bill strike the right balance between the federal government’s role in health care and what states will be expected to do?

Here are some opinions from the Right.

1. Opinion: The fatal flaw for Republicans in Graham-Cassidy 

From Roll Call: The problem with the Graham-Cassidy plan is lack of momentum. A majority of people think it’s time to move on from the debate over health care.

2. The Graham-Cassidy bill — it's not perfect, but it's better than Obamacare

From The Hill: Graham-Cassidy is operating under the heading “It’s better than nothing.” That shouldn’t be good enough for the American health care system.

3. Graham-Cassidy is a triumph of federalism 

From The National Review: While there are some problems with Graham-Cassidy, it’s a shot at repeal of the Affordable Care Act, and because of that, it should be pursued.
