I'm surprised we haven't gotten another "courageous" statement yet from an additional Senator coming out in opposition to the bill.

Such as Dean Heller Tongue

One thing that strikes me as odd is this  - they lost last time essentially because McCain was upset with the lack of bipartisanship and decided to f**k them. So their solution this time is to publicly give the middle finger to bipartisanship to put pressure on people? Like, it doesn't seem like the ideal design for that end.

I almost wonder whether this isn't just for show with Senate Republicans feeling like they needed to give the appearance of an Obamacare repeal fight right before the deadline arrived.

Well, the reason he voted against last time was that he wanted to pass reforms through regular order because of his fondness for the Senate, not because of his fondness for poor and sick people losing health insurance. It'd be hypocritical, even by US Senate standards, for him to change his vote this time just because his work husband is a co-sponsor.

And of course, we'd never have to worry about McCain doing something hypocritical Tongue

I will postpone judgment on this until I see the actual bill.
