In reply to the discussion: Conway: Trump to decide 'this week' whether to let Obamacare implode [View all]thesquanderer
(11,986 posts)7. If he does this, I predict Congress will reverse it with a veto-proof majority.
Obviously all the Dems would vote for a bill to restore the payments. I think enough Republicans would cross to support it as well. It hurts too many of their states. Those Republicans who voted against the repeal-and-replace because it didn't go far enough in getting rid of ACA are a lost cause. But those who voted against it because they thought it took too much away could support such a bill.

They are not going to be able to do it through a bill because the Senate can only consider one

Is it under consideration? Only one reconcilliation bill can be passed in any given year.
