Maybe you should change the name of the thread? :-D
There's still 20 votes against it. It may or may not pass the House but the Senate will almost certainly kill it.
Out of curiosity do you grasp what the ACA and the repeal law does and do you understand the insurance markets in America? Somehow I think your nuance here is severely lacking and is reducible to “BAD DEMS.”
EDIT: Here, do your homework. Look up reconciliation. I'm fairly sure you have never ever grasped the concept of reconciliation before in a Congressional bill, let alone heard of it before.
Sorry mate, but I'm very well informed in the US legislative process and of course I'm aware of the Reconciliation process that's why I'm very sure that it will pass both chambers. I'm pretty sure that it'll will go one of the two reasonable ways:
1. House Bill agreed to in the Senate by 51 or 52 Votes without changes.
2. Senate amends the bill, passes it and it gets back to the House where the same Reps who voted for the first version will back it again.
The first is essentially impossible. Extreme outside chance of 50 and Pence, but even the GOP manages to get that many Senators willing to pass this steaming pile of sausage makings, there's going to be some who will insist on adding their own seasoning to the mix.
And after another week back home getting an earful from voters, then there will be those who voted for it who will use the Senate changes as the fig leaf needed to vote against it. Either that or the Senate changes end up losing the support of the House Freedom to Die Caucus.
