Senate Health Care Bill Off Fast Track

It looks like BHCA (the Better Health Care Act, which isn’t) is not going to be voted on before the July 4 break, as Senator McConnell had hoped. I don’t see how he thought he could put such a terrible bill through committee, without hearings, without almost no debate, without amendments, and get a vote passed.  The horrible CBO score did him in.  Chaos broke loose.

Here’s a nice summary of the the bill:

Trump has invited Senators from both parties over to the White House to discuss health care. I would love to be a fly on that wall.  To discuss the issue, you have to understand the issue.
