Again, technically, Republicans are trying to do with under the wire of reconciliation because they don't have the votes to get 60

looks like they don't have 50, to invoke the vice president's tiebreaker.

Exactly, it's a budget exception, to keep government operating when the 2 sides are at war.

That's why it's called Obama care lite, by the money hawks.

Paul Ryan tried to slip in the dismantling of Medicaid, and it woke up a sleeping giant.

Republicans failed to kick the can down the road stripping required parts, hoping the can would disappear.

They might be got away with it if they didn't overreach into Medicaid, which is their real problem.

I think by overreaching, it put the Democrats/Schumer in the driver seat. Going forward,

that's great, eliminate the option of doing what they're doing, strengthen Obama care with the public option
