I think this hearing is likely to demonstrate that Republicans can't agree internally on any changes to health care policy, which means there's no plausible way forward here. But we'll see.
Bill Cassidy told me earlier this month that he planned to hold a hearing to help find a path forward on health care costs, as ACA subsidy cliff looms.
That hearing has just been announced — even as GOP scrambles to figure out what to do next, after White House’s stumbles this week.
