why would they want a score that tells the truth about their bill?
it would derail the entire process AGAIN.
republicans are voting on a bill WITH NO IDEA WHAT IT WILL COST OR HOW MANY PEOPLE IT WILL COVER.
that's governing...

Actually, that's not true. The bill is probably worse for cost and who will lose their health care. They didn't fix anything, they just put band aids on the more obvious hemorrhaging.

They can't use reconciliation in the Senate unless it's scored (and doesn't have an impact on deficits for more than ten years).
Of course they will probably have Pence over rule the parliamentarian anyway.
