It’s baaack..
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and his leadership team are seriously considering voting on a bill that would scale back the federal government’s role in the health care system and instead provide block grants to states, congressional and Trump administration sources said.
It would be a last-ditch attempt to repeal Obamacare before the GOP’s power to pass health care legislation through a party-line vote in the Senate expires on Sept. 30.
It is unclear to me whether the House needs to pass the Senate Bill bu September 30th. In the end they won’t get Collins or Paul – so they need McCain and Murkowski.
Graham’s relationship with McCain is well known. So maybe they have a shot.
I would bet against this even coming up for a vote – because if it comes up for a vote I think they will be sure.
But this fight isn’t over.
This is not good. McCain based his opposition in large part based on guidance from the Arizona Governor. This means Murkowski may be the swing vote.
This is significant: Arizona governor — who McCain seeks counsel from on health care — supports Graham-Cassidy.https://t.co/f9vdxDfAMT
