GOP is about to release FOURTH iteration of the Graham-Cassidy-bill. [View all]

Yeah, the bill you have been fretting over?
The bill where you complained that it will be put up for a vote before it can be analyzed?
You can forget it.

The GOP has written YET ANOTHER version of the bill, so any analysis up to this point is moot again.
But don't worry, even though the bill keeps changing (2) and changing (3) and changing (4) the GOP still wants to pass it by this week.

Sweeping reforms to our health care system and to Medicaid can’t be done well in a compressed time frame, especially when the actual bill is a moving target. Today, we find out that there is now a fourth version of the Graham-Cassidy proposal, which is as deeply flawed as the previous iterations. The fact that a new version of this bill was released the very week we are supposed to vote compounds the problem.



Who knows? Maybe McConnell will slip in a fifth, entirely unknown version 5 minutes before the vote?
