Seven ways the latest Republican health-care effort is impulsive and chaotic

September 25 at 6:00 AM

Excerpts:

• Cassidy and Graham plan to introduce a new version of the bill Monday. As if the process weren’t complicated enough, the bill’s sponsors now plan to introduce a new version of the legislation Monday in a bid to win support from two key holdouts.

• That version won’t get a complete score, either. If the CBO couldn’t produce a complete analysis of the first version of Cassidy-Graham within a week, it follows that it won’t be able to do so for the second version, either. So if there’s a vote, senators will have incomplete information either way. To make things even more complicated, Cassidy has already urged people to discount the CBO’s first report because it won’t reflect the bill’s second draft.
