The Bill Text details explain that further recommendations to the Committee on Budget shall be submitted by the ObamaCare-involved committees no later than Jan 27th and that this Bill is basically now sitting waiting for those recommendations to be processed. Thus by the time they get the language in place & it passes the Budget committee then it can go to the President’s desk for signature.
If these GOP chairmen were to hurry now and submit it and pass it this coming week then Obama could decide on the matter before he leaves office. However if they wait a few more days until Obama is gone then they can let Trump decide the matter. I suggest waiting a few days.
“In the House of Representatives, not later than January 27, 2017, the committees named in subsections (a) and (b) shall submit their recommendations to the Committee on the Budget of the House of Representatives to carry out this section.”
Bump!
