Scheduled for this afternoon. Did Ryan and Price do enough work in the last 48 hours to muscle the votes through

I doubt they get it through. It's really a lose-lose situation. If it doesn't pass, Trump failed to close the deal on the first major hurdle of this piece of legislation. If it does pass, it's going to force the administration to keep focusing on it, and in the end it'll probably never get through the whole legislative process. I never understood why they chose to tackle this issue first.

i'm also in search of some professional thoughts on the bill and if it's really as "bad" as the CBO reported it could be

I don't know all the details on this new bill but physician support in general for ACA is fairly high - including both specialists and primary care. Easily 60% of the patients in our resident clinic are able to get access to healthcare who otherwise wouldn't have it. These are dollars that are invested now for chronic conditions like diabetes and hyperlipidemia that will save exponentially more in the future. One session of hemodialysis costs on average 1.2k and patients that utilize this require it 3x weekly. I know this bill will limit Medicaid funds for a number of these younger patients that would arguably be more fiscally responsible use of these funds in the long run.

CNN is reporting Ryan went to the White House to tell Trump they don't have the votes.
