Democrats on Monday asked the Congressional Budget Office to conduct a full analysis on coverage losses that would result from the latest Senate GOP effort to repeal and replace ObamaCare.
In a letter sent to the nonpartisan budget office, Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif. ) said the public needs a full understanding of the impact this legislation would have on Americans.
New legislation from Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Bill Cassidy (R-La.) would repeal central parts of ObamaCare, including the individual mandate, subsidies to insurers and funding for Medicaid's expansion, and replace them with block grants for states.
Republicans are trying to figure out whether they have enough support to pass the bill before Sept. 30, the deadline for using a budgetary process known as reconciliation that prevents Democrats from filibustering the bill.

(51,609 posts)now that he got the opinion of the AZ governor. MSNBC just announced that he got the green light! Collins is a co sponsor of the bill I read on Sept 6 so we can't count on her either. I do not know where Murkowski stands since she hasn't said anything about it yet. Don't forget that Pence has a vote TOO!
Call Congress non stop for the next two WEEKS! McConnell must get a win and will buy off everyone.
CALL (202)224-3121 PLEASE!
