Lets hope we can stop Trumpcare this month...so they move on to their tax giveaway fiasco...

and fail there, too.

But for now:

"The alternative story is that McConnell is pushing for a vote this month, even though he knows it will fail, because he wants to move on to tax cuts and "to ensure the whole year isn’t consumed by health care." But that doesn't mean they're not above trying to muscle it through. "We're getting to the point where people need to make decisions," Majority Whip John Cornyn of Texas told Politico."

That's why they want to do health care first and not have the whole tax cut in one bill.
