It's worse:

We don't know what the final bill will have in it, as your own link says. Not saying it won't be there, but we literally know nothing about what the bill with look like.

This is so scary that they're just trying to ram this garbage through.

My father voted for Trump, even though I had a tumor excised and 23 sessions of radiation three years ago.

Hopefully nothing cancer related pops up again, or fuck me I guess.

If you relapse, be sure to thank your father for helping to kill you. He needs to understand his role in this.

White men having a smidgen less power though.

Insanely rich people not being rewarded for cruelty.

Think about the things that are really important here. You'll see where his dad is coming from.

If he puts it to vote, it'll pass. Republicans care about party more than country. They would rather eat a vote on a toxic health care bill than not do what McConnell asks.

And you can be sure that whatever the Senate kicks back to the House will pass there, too.

They might be saying they won't whip the bill. Which means it might not pass.

Seems confirmed now, WSJ is reporting it.

Senate GOP plans health-care vote next week https://t.co/bSsH1EYb8a via @WSJ

GOP aides and others familiar with the negotiations said they anticipate the bill’s text will be released later this week. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office is expected to release its estimate of the bill’s impact on the federal budget and insurance coverage early next week, and a vote could potentially be held next Thursday, before lawmakers scatter for a one-week recess.

Sounds like he's sending it out to die, so they can move onto something else that's more popular. Or less unpopular I suppose.

They have path forward for any of their goals without health care first

Right, they can't get their bullshit tax 'reform' without the savings from ACHA. If McConnell is sending it out, he thinks he has a reasonable chance to pass it.

No reason to play games: if they are voting on it, they already know the outcome.

"McConnell sending a bill to die" isn't exactly high on the list of things I'd expect from something he's personally spearheaded guys. All the same, we'll see. If they're voting, that means McConnell has it.

While I don't believe that McConnell is sending the bill out to die I think for the moment it is just posturing to whip the votes. And no one, including McConnell knows what the count is at the moment. Neither Paul (who is the Freedom Caucus in the Senate) nor the Moderates (Collins, ...) have seen the bill and have stated whether they would vote for or against.

They want it gone whether it passes or not. If it's never going to pass, they don't want it hanging over them like a black cloud.
