Is price controls the only thing from Obama's list left out of the current senate bill?
I ask because if all that is left is price controls that can be passed via reconciliation then it's easier to support it in it's current form.

Price controls might not become permanent law but if the middle class is given something good it'll be suicide for the GOP to take it out...

TIA for any input

4. Well, if EVERYONE could buy into medicare or the p.o. - but it was actually...
...never everyone, only a very few. The Senate version has never been a good bill.

5. Right, I'm starting to draw the line in the sand on reconciliation when it comes to price controls..
...I'm not going to scream if it's left out of permanent law just if there's no relief for the middle class.

I think the PO would've been better win but if there' are no votes for it then the votes don't exist...
