Daily Beast:
On Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was able to effectively persuade his members that it was vital to move forward with debate even without knowing exactly what health care legislation the body was to consider. He is expected to make the same pitch for the final vote: encouraging Republicans to get some, any, bill into a conference committee with the House so that the process can simply continue.
What lawmakers will ultimately vote on is not entirely clear, though Republican aides previewed to The Daily Beast a final product that would repeal the individual and employer mandates as well as the tax on medical device manufacturers while leaving in place Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion. Known as a “skinny repeal,” the legislation, according to the Congressional Budget Office, would still leave an estimated 15 million people uninsured by 2026. But, according to aides, it represents the best possible vehicle—at least at this juncture—for the Senate to move forward.

Ends with:
And momentum is now definitively on the Republican Party’s side. Leaders are aiming to finish the process by the end of this week and send a bill to the House, which is scheduled to begin its August recess next week. Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) has pledged that the House would remain in session if the Senate sends over a bill.
“We’re going to stay and finish health care,” Ryan previously said.

Very good chance that skinny repeal goes through. I kinda suspect this then leads to a disasterous 5+years that actually make single payer easier to pass, but the path there is ugly.

Every conservative seems to think that once the repeal happens, the others will be forced to fall into THEIR preferred replacement approach. Which, of course, only makes compromising with each other less likely to happen.
