Yesterday they could only get 50 votes. so the only way you can get 60 yays. they'll have this procedural vote in the next few amendments. it was supposed to happen at 11:30 a.m. the hyde amendment will not likely be tacked on to this. the second vote is a straight repeal of obamacare. this is akin to the 2015 repeal bill. it also includes the two year window for lawmakers to come up with a replacement plan. that has a different scenario to it here. still not what they're calling the skinny repeal where they just tear down parts of obamacare that could come in the next 24 hours. is that we kno...

Countless times. second, and you guys never talk about this, our repeal bill says it's not effective until december 31st, 2018. if it were passed today and president trump would sign it tomorrow, there's a year and a half before it takes effect. that's time for what i just described, people to come together and put together a replacement plan that will bring down premiums, which have risen dramatically under obamacare, and if you can pay your premium, can you afford the four, six, eight thousand dollar deduckable so many plans have that so many are experiencing. that's how we can come together...
