(2,787 posts)One thing I am wondering is if it's going to ruled on rather or not this bill can re-balance funds from heavily populated blue states into red states with low populations by the senate parliamentary. Without that provision their prospect of getting this garbage bill passed are toast.

(2,001 posts)YES, The republicans want this so fucking bad they will go to any length to pass it. They are right now figuring out a way without even a cbo report to ram this the fuck thru. 45 is already having meetings with the senators who voted no last time. YOU heard it here first, They are gonna repeal Obamacare IMO.
