Here is the possible timeline for the next steps of the health care bill in the Senate. This is VERY rough guidance and subject to change:
Tuesday
*The president signs Senate health care bill (must do so in order for the Senate to start reconciliation; Democrats wrote it this way in their budget resolution).
*Senate starts 20 hours of reconciliation debate.
Wednesday
*Debate wraps up.
*Possible beginning of Vote-a-Rama
Thursday
*More likely beginning of Vote-a-Rama
Friday
*Vote-a-Rama continues --- possibly wraps up.
Saturday
*POSSIBLE wrap-up of Vote-a-Rama w/ final passage vote (51 votes for passage ---- OR could be 50 + Biden vote).
