What the US Senate Republicans will do with "TrumpCare"...

1. I don't think they have the votes for budget reconciliation. I think there are actually enough

republicans in the Senate that will go for that.

If they want to replace the ACA, they are going to have to write their own bill from scratch, that covers pre-existing conditions, and doesn't sock it to older Americans with pre-existing conditions, and destruction of Medicaid.

In the case of a new bill, they will need 2/3 to pass it, and the Democrats will not sign on unless it is at least as good as or better than the ACA, and any bill meeting that criteria will not be accepted by House freedom caucus.

I think it will be difficult for them to get this through before 2018, and 2018 will determine what happens
