McConnell is expected to roll out the discussion draft to Republican lawmakers Thursday morning. The 2010 law extended insurance coverage to millions of Americans through both subsidized private insurance and an expansion of Medicaid. We have no information other than what we're getting in bits and pieces from other people. The CBO analysis of the House-passed bill concluded it would deprive 23 million people health insurance they would otherwise maintain if Obamacare stayed in place through the coming decade.
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, a Republican from Kentucky, was so fed up with the secrecy he re-introduced a "Read the Bills" resolution that requires one day of consideration for every 20 pages of legislation. It has come under widespread criticism from Democrats and helped prompt some moderate House Republicans to vote against the measure.
Our two Democratic Senators, Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, can be counted on to vote against it, but they may not get enough Republicans to join them to stop this train wreck. He said GOP senators have had "many productive discussions" on the measure and added, "We have to act, and we are". "It's apparently being written by a small handful of staffers for members of the Republican leadership in the Senate".
The healthcare bill will be released to the Republican Senate Conference on Thursday at 9:30 a.m. and posted online, Senators John Barrasso of Wyoming and Bob Corker of Tennessee told reporters on Wednesday.
That's according to lobbyists and congressional aides who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it publicly.

"I hope we are going to surprise you with a really good plan", Trump told a crowd of just under 6,000 people in Cedar Rapids. He had privately called the House legislation "mean", according to congressional sources. But negotiations have been plagued by tensions between moderates and conservatives.
Daines says what could be gained are lower premiums and more state control over Medicaid expansion funds. Whereas Senate Republicans are avoiding the committee process and are keeping the text of the bill secret until a week before the final vote.
There was also an argument over Medicaid's growth rate going forward, with conservatives favoring lowering the growth rate in 2025. Spicer offered no specifics but said Trump wants the Senate to "strengthen it, to make it more affordable, more accessible".
Opposition to the House-passed health care bill has almost doubled among Republican voters since the end of April, according to Morning Consult polling.
