Of course republicans don't want the CBO to score this bill...that's what sank it the first time

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...

Of course they will probably have Pence over rule the parliamentarian anyway.
