    They all increase number of uninsured ppl by at least 22 millions, & lower quality of insurance for millions more. That's the bottom line.

    I think Senate R's are trying to confuse the media by dumping every possible health bill out in public. And to some extent, it's working

    CBO: by 2020 BCRA lowers average premiums for "benchmark plans"—primarily by changing def of "benchmark" from 70% coverage to 58% coverage.

    This is what the Dem Secretary of State of NH—a state where GOP has been most aggressive against ease of voting this year—has to say. Ugh.

    Gardner says we've focused too much on access -- "all about ease, all about ease." We should worry more about confidence in the process.

    Good to know Elon Musk can entirely avoid environmental law, public hearings, any input at all from state or local officials. 🤔

    New version of BCRA doesn't contain the Cruz amendment—but that may be about McConnell wanting to get to use the HHS score over the CBO's:

    Replying to @LorenAdler
    This doesn't mean Cruz Amendment is gone for good, just that CBO couldn't score it in time or the Senate GOP didn't want them to score it.

    24 hours ago, Murkowski was willing to say she opposed the motion to proceed, the 2015 repeal bill, & BCRA's 2nd version. FWIW.

    Lisa Murkowski doesn't answer question about where she stands on motion to proceed. Are you more optimistic of pessimistic? "I don't know."
