Hey Hoya,
Just read that the CBO found the lolhealthcare Bill would decrease deficits over 10 years, mostly by telling the poor to **** themselves.
Ignoring how evil this plan is, that fact makes the AHCA eligible to be passed in the Senate as a reconciliation Bill doesn't it?
We're 51 votes from midnight if so, although the Senate still probably can't muster the votes even with the lower threshold.
Also, if i understand it correctly, it shifts the burden onto the states. So while the fed deficit goes down, you gotta presume the state money needs to come from somewhere.
Regardless, senate is writing a whole new bill which will get sent back to the house.
