So the GOP got to first base with their new plan for health care, after striking out on their first two attempts.
Next, the Senate will be up to taking a pitch from Team Trump, but meanwhile, the Congressional Budget Office will come up with a cost-benefit scoring analysis as the folks back home complain to their elected representatives about the many negative aspects, as explained to them by journalists who have actually read the bill, unlike House Republicans who voted to approve it before reading it or waiting for the CBO to analyze and estimate what it would cost.
So far, the people most likely to score benefits from the plan are the wealthy, who don't need much help in getting basic health care.
They do, however, always feel they need help in keeping their money away from tax collectors. And major newspapers are detailing the effects of the plan with detailed reporting of their own, which the folks back home will surely read as they challenge congressional representatives at town hall meetings.
Assuming the politicians have the gumption to show up.
