My understanding is that they have until September 30th to pass something. After September 30th, it'll become much harder and will require the support of Democrats (which they obviously won't get). I'm not exactly sure what'll prevent them from trying the same tactic next year, but my understanding is that it gets much harder once the new fiscal year begins.I don't trust them ... I bet they try something underhanded.

Judging by the fate of the last batch of congress critters that passed a major law which messed with the nation's medical care insurance system that was a very wise move.
I still don't trust them
What's to trust?
A majority of the population favors single payer like the rest of the advanced post industrial world has; better outcomes, more efficient, less expensive.
The donor/"job creator" class and Wall Street do not favor it.
The people lose.
The end.
The donor class always has it covered either way.

You can quickly tackle 2018 and 2019 budgets to use the same reconciliation process. 2019 budgets can start by early next year.My understanding is that they have until September 30th to pass something.

There is good reason to be skeptical of single payer, because the delivery method is merely a delivery method. The consequentail aspects are about funding and what is considered mandatory coverage. Sander's plan, for instance, was getting hammered by consumer groups for people with disabilities because it seemed to eliminate and not replace funding for Medicaid 1915c services, which account for about half of all funds that enable people with disabilities to use their 14th amendment right to live in the community (also in the ADA, per Olmstead ruling of 1999).What's to trust?

So, uh, how does that square with how you're feeling about Trump's endorsement, albeit nihilistic in nature, of the AHCA, the BCRA, and Graham-Cassidy?Our very expensive not very good medical system is a money tree for the donor class, they dont want better, and they long ago threw the best interest of America overboard.

Not even the insurance providers liked it. The political party donors, however, were pushing hard.

Washington (CNN) The Senate will not vote on the Graham-Cassidy bill to repeal Obamacare, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told Republicans in a closed-door meeting, three sources told CNN.
McConnell met with lawmakers Tuesday to take stock of where his members are on the proposal and make the call once and for all if Graham-Cassidy, the latest bill to repeal and replace Obamacare, will get a vote in the Senate.
On Monday, Sen. Susan Collins, a Republican from Maine, finally came out against the bill, a position she'd been teetering toward for days. Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Rand Paul of Kentucky also opposed to the measure.
The calculations for health care are agonizing for McConnell. Putting a controversial bill on the floor without the votes exposes members to political fallout and attack ads. Many Republicans haven't even taken a public position on Graham-Cassidy, a bill that the Congressional Budget Office said Monday would drastically cut Medicaid and lead to millions of people not having health insurance compared to the status quo.

Exactly, but many pretend that whether the party for a bigger federal government or the party for a huge federal government has the majority in DC at the moment matters more.

They've run out of time to do anything "underhanded."I don't trust them ... I bet they try something underhanded.
Yup, intentionally.
That's because next year is an election year. Americans have short political memories, but even they will remember who got them kicked off their health insurance. The cutbacks in Medicaid that the Republicans have proposed would affect a lot of Trump voters.
