Trump stated, "If it doesn't get approved, you'll have a 68% tax increase." He added, "You're going to go up 68%. That's a number that nobody has ever heard of before. You'll have a massive tax increase." Do you think any American will get a 68% tax increase if this bill doesn't pass?

A central concern in Senate discussions has been Medicaid reform. The House bill proposes approximately $700 billion in cuts. Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) said, "I cannot support proposals that would create more duress for our hospitals and providers that are already teetering on the edge of insolvency." Do you think that Senate Republicans will make changes to the Medicaid reforms in the House bill?
