It was to get to conference with the House so that they could hammer out the details. Everything has to reconciled. And you're the party of "we must pass it so that we can find out what's in it" so don't act so righteous.
If they just decided to go to regular order, they could do the same. Essentially McCain didn't trust McConnell and Ryan to get it there.

That sounds like the House bill that was passed so it could be fixed in the senate. That didn't happen, the senate didn't fix anything. There's no reason to believe a conference committee would have fixed anything.

I support a single payer system.

We spend more than any other developed nation on healthcare, we have poorer outcomes, and not everyone is covered.

It's a joke.

Both the House and Senate bills deal with how we finance healthcare, but neither addresses the fundamental reasons our healthcare is so expensive.

There's a lack of leadership on both sides of the aisle.

So the new Trump plan of sabotage sounds like a big pile of dookie for literally everyone. He's defaulting on the cost sharing payments to insurers. The CBO already looked at the effects of a change like this.

Premiums for everyone in the individual market increase to offset the loss of revenue. The premium subsidies for everyone under 400% of the poverty line increase to cover the new increased premiums. This will cost the taxpayers an extra $200 billion more than the original CSR payments that Donald has defaulted on.

Those of us in the individual market that don't receive subsidies get to eat the premium increases of up to 20%.

So more cost to the taxpayer, more cost for the middle class and more uncertainty in the market.

Thanks Trump!
