Best bet is a staffer named Byrd who didn't want to lose his health insurance coverage.

Now I’m wondering if
@byrdala had something to do with this... -
I mean, Craig's not wrong. I do not want to lose my health insurance coverage.

Is it Byrd or committee of jurisdiction? I guess moot now…
-
committee of jurisdiction is part of the byrd rule(s)
-
Thank you. Making more sense now. Due to reconciliation instructions? Or because only some committees budget-related?
-
its under the byrd rules for reconciliation instructions I *think* the staff health stuff falls under HSGAC.
-
point of clarification. while jurisdiction is part of byrd. when it comes from the House to Senate it's a germaness question too. (BAD)
-
and the germaness question could be fatal to privilege for the AHCA not just a surgical removal of the waivers section.
-
there may be other byrd problems with the bill too (touching regulations, does it have budgetary effects etc), but parls will have to rule

I think it's because it's Senate Government Affairs Committee jurisdiction which makes it fatal - can't even be considered in the Senate

I'm told the issue is that to fix this, apparently they need to bring in another panel NOT included under reconciliation instructions?

It's possible it could be committee of jurisdiction.
-
Committee jurisdiction is part 3/C of Byrd rule on extraneous matter in reconciliation bills
-
My sense is that if it gets dropped then there might be a serious fight from Ds in senate to get the title 1 waivers struck from the bill
