The apparent lockstep nature of the Senate is an illusion. 

McConnell isn't going be bring anything to the floor that would fail, and most high profile votes so far have been cabinet confirmations, i.e. the Senate Republican majority has not been tested at all.

It's going to be hysterical if this goes to the floor and loses 215-216.  Although I think that would be a better outcome for the Republicans than it passing.

IMO the rank of possible outcomes, from best to worst for the GOP, would be:

1. No House vote.
2. Fails in House.
3. Passes House, fails in Senate.
4. Passes both, Trump vetoes (unlikely).
5. Bill becomes law.

Thoughts?
There's another option.  A bill passes both houses, but the House and Senate can't reconcile their two bills.  Anyway, I agree that the longer the process goes on, the worse it is for Republicans.

This bill allows companies to gut their employee insurance plans, bring back lifetime limits.
