We have a bill.

We have a “skinny repeal” bill.

It’s just eight pages. It includes a provision that would prevent Medicaid funding from going to Planned Parenthood for a year, a provision the Senate parliamentarian has advised is outside the bounds of Senate rules. It would effectively end the individual mandate, as well as the employer mandate. It would extend the delay on the medical device tax to 2020 and increase limits on health savings accounts. It also would expand waivers that states could use to get around the regulations on insurance markets imposed by the ACA.

Looks like this has a good shot of passing. Here goes everything.
