Will the AHCA vote need 60 votes in the Senate?

[SHRED]

Or will it be a simple majority under reconciliation?

Either way this looks like a huge lift for them.

1. Not sure... I think 51 votes.

But if the dems filibuster, it would take 60 for cloture. Unless McTurtle has changed the rules recently.

7. mcconnel isn't going to change the rules for removing the legislative filibuster. They don't have

the votes to remove the legislative filibuster anyway. There are enough republicans who won't go for that

2. I think that question is still open...

the Senate has an office that determines if it can be done under reconciliation. Every Dem Senator I've heard has said none of them will vote for it as it stands.

3. I thought they're trying to pass it under budget reconciliation so they only need 50 + Pence.

4. What rules? It's a new world order.

5. Apparently a senior GOP Senator said the chance of it being under reconciliation is less than 1 in 5

We shall see. Really hope this cruel monstrosity fails.

6. Not if they push it through using budget reconciliation.

Or, failing that, eliminating the filibuster as it applies to legislation is always a possibility.

9. They don't have the votes to eliminate the legislative filibuster, and it looks like they will

rewrite the bill, and unless it is equivalent or better than the ACA, the Democrats won't vote for it, and I believe there are not enough Senate republicans that would accept a bill that doesn't cover pre-existing conditions and other issues.

If they manage to get a rewrite through, which would almost certainly mean a less drastic bill, that the house freedom caucus would accept it is very questionable.

That is why 2018 may literally be a life and death situation

8. Looks like this bill is even too crappy for the Republicans in the Senate.

They plan to draft their own bill from scratch.

10. Most of the provisions will be majority

There are several provisions in the House bill that are not eligible for treatment under reconcilation. The Senate GOP is starting from scratch and will hopefully exclude these provisions
