As you know, Senate Majority Leader McConnell (R-KY) postponed plans to vote on the Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA) this week due to a lack of support (he needs at least 50 Republican Senators).  However, he plans to bring up the bill as soon as possible after Senators return from the Independence Day recess on July 10. It is unclear if McConnell will wait for a new CBO score on a revised bill or try to quickly hold a vote.  The House plans to pass the Senate bill without any changes. It will then go to the President's desk. Unless we stop it.
