Phase 1 will end Obamacare. The Senate rules for reconcilation with a Budget require what is being done to enable ending Obamacare with just 51 votes. Any other technique would allow filibusters and require 60 votes. No Democrat will vote for repeal.
Sit tight and let the system work. Educate yourself and you will understand.

Filibuster is not part of the Constitution. There are exceptions for the majority rule but they are spelled out in the Constitution. Filibuster is a fake concept and only a rule which can be worked around in a couple ways. We just have to have Republicans that care more about the Republic than they do themselves.
