Sheesh...just flipped on Fox News to see how they were spinning this whole Sessions thing. They were being quite negative.

Paul now voting for MTP - leaves Collins, Murkowski, Capito, Portman, Heller, Lee and Moran who have previously indicated they are a No.
Seems a comprehensive and legit piece of game-changing legislation to me.
How people can stand in the way of it, when the proposal has had so much hard work, expert scrutiny and input put into it is beyond my understanding
Certainly seems that Heller has come around now he is voting on a completely unkown bill that he can claim "oh, I didn't know it was going to gut Medicaid in my state, honest"
Never understand why people make these sort of decisions - because of his flip-flop he'll have managed to thoroughly annoy everyone on either side of the issue with very little to show for it.

I'm still a bit confused, they are voting to debate healthcare, will there be another vote after they decide on what to do or does this vote negate that?
I found this a useful explainer - it is CNN though so some might consider it fake news

well, they got 50 
This is a massive can of worms. It will now be open for debate and amendments which could stall this thing forever since they will be from both sides of the aisle.
Got a very bad feeling that they will get the skinny repeal passed and the insurance markets really will go into the death spiral that the Republicans have been claiming Obamacare is in.well, they got 50
Gotta hand it to McCain.
Hopefully it makes a difference.
Hopefully it makes a difference.
But if he wanted to return to regular order he could have voted no on MTP and insisted a bill went through commitee with proper amendments and CBO scoring???
