The Senate does not have 60 votes that agree on a plan, and now 60 votes are necessary because when they had a narrow window, the legislation options were limited and there was no majority consensus. 2018 is an election year. It is a better idea to move to Infrastructure bills next and win more Senate seats without losing the House.

They have an opportunity in the 2019 budget reconciliation package, and that should occur before the elections. I guess it is debatable as to whether they should use the process once again for Obamacare replace or not, especially so close to the election. But I think it best to address it in that manner.
Infrastructure will require 60 votes I think as I don't see how that is possible as a reconciliation amendment.
