"Most Americans oppose the BCRA's untenable cuts to Medicaid and its disregard for the families who need guaranteed, affordable health coverage," Baker continued. "In drafting the BCRA, Senate leaders have avoided public debate, hearings and even their own constituents... The American people have asked for, and deserve, an open, bipartisan approach to making health care more affordable for everyone."
What comes next in this process? The Congressional Budget Office will score the bill, meaning it will say how many people will be hurt by the cuts in government subsidies and coverage cuts, and how many will benefit from tax cuts and other giveaways. Then McConnell will try to bring the bill to the floor, where if necessary, he will introduce more vote-getting amendments that will not be reviewed by the CBO.
