      Activists on the front-lines are treating Senate passage of health care bill as imminent. The media, for now, is not.

      i don't have hard numbers but it's definitely not the same alarm level we saw after the first attempt to pass the house bill

      Agreed, but again, that's because AHCA was an actual bill! And that's precisely why it failed: it was *wildly* unpopular.

      So they then did secret negotiations and jammed it through w no CBO score. Senate doing more extreme version of that. It's shocking

      But yes alarm is much lower, but I'd just humbly suggest most of the blame for that is a McConnell.

      yeah i dont think it was necessarily meant as a normative judgement against the media. just the reality

      I'd like an explainer on what exactly is McConnell's game. Is this going to be a real bill or not?

          Part of McConnell's genius is that you never know what he's really up to until the last moment

          Like, what are his core policy positions? Does anybody know? Other than cutting taxes for the wealthy, like every R.

          i'm not well-sourced among senate republicans. senate ds and leftwing activists are in "defcon 5," expect real bill to come, pass v. quickly

          of course part of this may still be shock over speed/suddenness of house passage. want to avoid these headlines:https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/5/4/15541754/liberal-activists-healthcare-bill …

          If a bill passes, it will then auto-pass the House...and the damage will be immoral, deadly.
