Sen. Mike Crapo wants another megabill passed by the reconciliation process, for the next fiscal year. He hasn't said what he wants in a new bill, but simply noted that some things on his wish list were crossed out by Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough in bill #1. He apparently thinks she might change her mind on bill #2.
Another Republican senator who wants to try again is Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI). He at least knows what he wants. He wants to gut Medicaid even more than the first bill. In particular, states that expanded Medicaid have the federal government pay for 90% of the cost. He wants to slash the federal government's share and make the states pay more. Johnson threatened to vote "no" on bill #1 up until the moment he caved and voted "yes."
House Budget Chairman Jodey Arrington (R-TX) also supports another bill with the leftovers that didn't make it into #1. He suggested doing it in the fall.
Of course, getting bill #1 over the finish line took half a year and a lot of arm twisting. The bill is also very unpopular. If work is begun on bill #2 in September, it will probably spill into 2026, an election year, and many House members will be gun shy since all of them are up in 2026. This doesn't mean it won't happen, but everything depends on what Trump wants. If he is for it, another bill is a possibility. If he is not interested, it is not going to happen. (V)
