The Senate Republicans are getting closer to a final vote on the “Big and Beau Bill” by President Donald Trump, but face an further obstacle before the legislators recorded in the president’s ambitious program.
The legislators finished several hours of debate on the Megabill which began Sunday afternoon and died early Monday morning. The next obstacle is the “voting-a-rama” marathon, when legislators on each side of the aisle can submit an unlimited number of modifications to the bill.

The Senate Republicans will use time to change and shape the bill to sit down, while Democrats will inflict as much pain, and burn as much time as possible, with amendments designed to lower or kill legislation squarely.
The debate was largely a foreseeable partisan case filled with floor graphs, passionate gesticulant fists and pleadyers to adopt or nuarica the bill.
The Democrats of the Senate have remunerated against the bill for its changes in modifications to Medicaid, to subsidies at the Green Energy Tax and to the way in which the bill, in particular its design to make tax reductions and the use of Trump in 2017 permanent, would emerge the federal deficit.

The Republicans praised the “great and beautiful bill” for the growth he could overcome in the country, and in particular, how important it was to prevent the tax reductions from the president.
“I say to everyone in America who heard all the policy of fear, about what we do here and to the management of the deficit, (they) must remember that it is only to Washington, DC, the refusal to increase your taxes an increase in the deficit,” said the president of the Senate finance committee, Mike Crapo, R-Assaho. “And we are not going to let it happen.”
The legislators launched the debate in one direction in both directions to find out if the president of the Senate budget committee, Lindsey Graham, RS.C., or the Senate parliamentarian, had the power to dictate if the Republicans could use the current political basic line, the Gimmick budget, the GOP supports the real cost of the tax bill for the next decade.
“Republicans can use budgetary gadgets they want to try to operate mathematics on paper, but you cannot highlight the actual consequences of the addition of tens of billions of billion to debt,” said the head of the Senate minority, Chuck Schumer, DN.Y.

The Office of the Budget of the Non -Sample Congress (CBO) published two sets of scores on Saturday and Sunday which reflected both current policy and the current law. Under current policy, the bill would classify just over $ 507 billion over the next decade. But under the current law, the package would add about 3.3 billions of dollars.
Graham has attempt that, as a budget president, he has the right to define the figures.
“The resolution in which we operate to bring us here, we voted to assert the case so that we do not do anything devious,” he said. “We actually voted to give me the authority to do so, and he passed.”
Graham also went to fight for the planned cups of the MEDICAID GOP, which they presented as efforts to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse in the program by instilling work requirements, starting illegal migrants of profit and by making changes to the way the federal government would pay states.
He argued that since the affordable care law of former President Barack Obama has become the law, Medicaid has developed in an exponential way, largely because Obama “prompted” states to oppose the expansion program of Medicaid and allowed adults of the valid working age to access the beneficiaries, which he noted that Medicaid was “never planned”.
“It is a good thing for the involved person to work,” he said. “This is a good thing for the taxpayer, to work. But it seems to be a crime on the other side, to ask someone to work that can work.”

Not all Republicans were aligned in their passion to adopt Trump’s bill.
Senator RAND PAULR-ky., Burned the legislative giant in a speech of fiery fire which slowed down the effect of the start of the bill. He and Senator Thom Tillis, RN.C., both voted against the progress of the bill thanks to a key procedural obstacle on Saturday evening.
Tillis, which largely agrees with numerous Medicaid adjustments, has reduced changes in the tax rate of providers and accused the president of having been due by his health advisers to the White House.
He said that he would remain against the bill until the legislators take the time to really unpack what their Medicaid proposals would do to the states, adding: “What is not going on by really understanding what this bill does?”
“Republicans are about to make a mistake on health care and betray a promise,” he warned. “What am I saying to 663,000 people in two or three years, when President Trump breaks his promise by pushing them from Medicaid because the funding is no longer there?”
Paul, who challenged the addition of an increase of 5 billions of dollars to the debt ceiling cooked in the bill, reaffirmed that he would vote against the Megabill during the last adoption.
“By deciding to vote for the” big, not so beautiful “, I asked a very specific question: will the deficit be more or less next year? The answer, without any doubt, will this bill increase the deficit,” he said.
