    Exactly zero GOP senators wanted Skinny to become law. A 'yes' vote was a vote to keep negotiating. That's it. =>https://twitter.com/conor64/status/892002918391398400 …

    Good review of McCain's contradictions, but the piece is written as if all Rs who voted for the bill wanted it to pass. I doubt that. https://twitter.com/brithume/status/891812471643799552 …

        There's a reason they didn't put a true poison pill into the skinny bill. House would've passed as is if conference committee failed.

        Senate doesn't pass legislation it doesn't want to become law. Even in the age of Trump.

        Why vote for something that you agree would be horrible if it became law? Why put millions of lives in the hands of the House? Come on.

        Yeah right. Conference would have failed (on purpose) and Ryan would have sent to a vote. That's why he didn't commit to not voting on it.

        conference committee would have been ultimately the "regular order" hearing process, if it had gotten that far. skinny wouldn't have been it

        what, conference committee? of course, that's how it works. 2 similar but different bills between houses get reconciled in conference comm.

        Congress has actual subject matter committees for this purpose.

        Going back to that is the only "regular order" that matters.

        Ok keep negotiating. This time do it through a committee. Have testimony from patients, nurses, doctors, hospitals, and insurers.

        They may not have preferred the skinny bill to pass as is, but they would have been OK with that happening in the end. Not much difference.
