If any Democrat votes for it, they should be primaried.

For those with coverage, get ready for your premiums to skyrocket. Healthcare providers will sock it to those with insurance to cover the losses on those without it.

Until the majority of Americans see that the GOP's plan will not lead to better coverage, we'll never get close to single-payer or a public option. Let them pass it and hope to God people smarten up afterwards.

So anything passed by reconciliation could conceivably be undone by it.

It isn't always clear what "reconciliation" would include and exclude.
