As the temperature rises in D.C. so does the temperature dial in the Senate. We’re entering week two of the June work period and the timeline for a Senate - version of the AHCA is still unclear. The work is ongoing, and while there were signs of momentum last week, news over the weekend reflected growing concerns from the more conservative wing of the party. There is also growing unrest on the Democratic side at the closed - door nature of the Senate AHCA process. The longer we are without a bill, the more you will hear this sentiment. That should play out this week when the House and Senate return to regular order talking about safety net programs and drug pricing in their respective hearings. For the Senate, finding consensus on the AHCA is the top priority.
