I'm guessing at this point they just want to delay it until people aren't paying attention ala the various incarnations of whatever they are calling the current net neutrality bill.

Did the CBO ever release their chart or no because no one can keep track of what's in this bill now?

They did but it was just the Everything Is Fine dog.

(I don't think they've released anything new yet, no.)

i just saw that the "same day rule" means they can bring it to a vote anytime between now and monday

so there's a chance this poo poo gets pushed off depending on what happens with the 11:30 meeting between pissbaby and the FC

I assume that the next version of the AHCA is going to just flat-out make health insurance illegal.

We're in a situation where the president of the united states could be locked in a room for weeks with people explaining what the health care law is and does and at the end of it could not explain what Medicaid block grants are, what mechanism was used to replace the mandate, or how the tax credits work. The guy is operating on nothing but bluster and an IQ I'd gauge in the mid 80's. You're never going to get anything more than self aggrandizing and non seneseical walls of text when any policy position is asked of him. We elected the first president physically incapable of understanding policy on any level.

This is spot on. Basically, if the bill passes it's a massive win for trump. It doesn't matter what's in it, or who it kills. All that matters is he gets to say he repealed Obamacare.

All that matters is winning. The sort of people who gravitate to that side of the political spectrum don't care about anything else.

if trump is thinking about this strategically at all then not knowing what's in the bill is actually an excellent plan for him, specifically

his supporters seem willing to swallow any poo poo he stuffs into their mouths so a huge number of them would nod and cheer when he said it wasn't his fault that he signed the bill he didn't understand

On the chest of a barmaid in Sale, were tattooed the prices of ale. And on her behind for the sake of the blind, was the same information in braille.

Just to ruin that dick's weekend, twitter should spam this to his POTUS and personal account.
