question is if they can put together some sort of 'fix' that the Senate can pass

I'd love for the Senate to just up/down vote this bill and kill it, but Mitch would never allow that

They barely have enough to pass the House -- nm - Amoxy May 3, 20:51 4
- We'll see if they even have that. But the thought all along has been, if they do, the Senate will change it and they can 'fix' via reconciliation. - ty97 May 3, 20:54
- Exactly. Reconciliation would kill it. The moment the make it easier for the public to swallow, House GOP flee. -- nm - Mop May 3, 20:54 2
  - I want it to die, but the thought is that the House could vote for it here and say they kept their pledge, then go along with the recon. - ty97 May 3, 20:55 1
    - Universal single-payer healthcare? Well, it's not what we wanted, but we promised to repeal and replace! -- nm - Mop May 3, 20:58
