Paul ryan has been saying this for a while since the house was able to pass something now its the senates turn. the senate needs to do what the house did and pass something but only fair to note even if the senate were able to pass graham/cassidy, its an open question whether the house would be able to pass that version and remember, the clock is ticking because we only have a couple days, the expectation was that the house would have to take up exactly what the senate passed and try to pass tha...
