In a political exercise that is coming down to the wire, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced Tuesday that a "discussion draft" of the bill that would repeal and replace Obamacare -- which has so far been kept closely under wraps -- will be released this Thursday.
The aim is to send final legislation to the Congressional Budget Office this week so that the CBO can review the bill and issue a report early next week before a vote that would likely happen next Thursday, June 29
McConnell said there would be ample time to read the bill, but didn't commit to a specific number of days. "Oh they'll have plenty of time," he said. "This will be about as transparent as it can be."
