Sen. Ted Cruz said today that he doesn’t support the latest Obamacare repeal plan drafted by Sens. Bill Cassidy and Lindsey Graham and suggested that the proposal also lacks the vote of Sen. Mike Lee.
The Texas Republican said at the Texas Tribune festival in Austin that he and Lee had offered amendments to the Graham-Cassidy proposal that would go further to bring down Obamacare premiums but that the changes weren’t included in the latest draft of the bill.
No other source is given. It also refers to the “latest” repeal plan. This leads to a question. The parliamentarian will require a CBO report on the budgetary impact to make sure it meets reconciliation requirements. They get that in a day or so, but that is on a previous version. Doesn’t the new version have to go back to CBO? It may not matter now, but one should keep pushing, just in case Cruz is lying (which would shock nobody).
