They will just attack the CBO for being wrong.
No, what was reported was that they had to wait for this to make sure it saves more than $2B (it does) because it wouldn't fly otherwise. In that case, they would have to revote
the health insurance and medical industries hate this bill
Republicans can't just save $2 billion overall. They have to save $1 billion in the Senate Finance Committee and then $1 billion in the Senate HELP Committee.
Generally speaking people do not like congress but like their local rep. A local rep just has to build a local coalition of special interest groups to get elected.How do even people vote for their reps based on all this crap lol
So now its 51 million will lose healthcare? Jesus.
I really wish we could get a solid understanding of what this reconciliation thing really amounts to. I can't shake the fact that's been used so often as a term that we are now using it without realizing exactly what it means. I always thought there was supposed to be some type of time limit to when you can use reconciliation rules. Is there not? What exactly qualifies something to be passed under reconciliation?

No, there are already 28 million uninsured. So 23 million more would lose it.
51 without total, 23 on top of the existing 28.
This is the most egregious example of "fuck the poor" I've ever seen.
Over 60% of a 64+ year-old's income solely for insurance premiums? That is absolutely unacceptable.

The current AHCA costs $218 billion more than the original, covers 1 million more. That's $218,000 per new person insured. Love it.
23 million would lose healthcare, that is the only line you need.
Democrats get those attack ads ready.
🚮🚮🚮
Just posting to lol
Listening on TV the Republican response is kind of funny.
"It's not as bad as expected". Good luck when people start losing their coverage.

yeah but think of all that extra cold hard cash in your pocket when you're not paying a monthly premium

ZERO chance of getting through Senate.
ZEEEEEEERRRROOOOOOOOO
I'm hearing they don't have to revote on this? Dammit, I was hoping they would. Definitely going to call my Senators, though I know I won't sway either of them. One will probably vote for it and the other won't.
GOP are politically suicidal if they actually want to pass this.
I mean have we also talked about the fact that they absolutely still must do something? Many people will be forced off the ACA soon because many people's rates jumped 30% last year and again this year. The number to become uninsured by leaving the ACA as it is will still be significant as far as I understand
This plan is likely much worse, but the ACA trajectory is also in trouble.
