Took the words right out of my mouth.

My guess is that if you want to see 95% of what it contains, just read the House bill. All the talk about the Senate starting over was, in my opinion, a ruse to deflect the press’s attention from the process.
From the few press reports on the Senate bill, it looks like the two main issues are how long to take to phase out the Medicaid expansion, and how much should the subsidies to purchase individual policies be. Plus they also appear to possibly be considering retaining a couple of the taxes that were imposed under Obamacare.
My guess is that the Senate bill passes and the House takes it up and passes it with no changes. Trump will sign it the same day the House passes it. The whole process could take just a day or two from Senate passage to enactment into law.
It’s becoming clear to the GOP that not passing a health insurance bill risks not passing a tax reform bill also. And if neither of those happens, you can kiss the House goodbye in 2018. Voters will cashier the GOP legislators for nonperformance, and they’ll deserve it.
