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. Investigate yourself and you will understand.

Your first sentence gives the impression that you haven’t read the bill.

No, it will not.

That's what Ryno and Ditch would like you to believe. But they can do a lot more, virtually all of it, on reconciliation. All they need is for Pence to overrule the (Democrat) parliamentarian. (And BTW, why is that parliamentarian still in place?)

Sit tight and let the system work.

You don't seriously believe that Ryno and Ditch are "letting the system work", do you?
