If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Senate Republicans unveiled a new version of their health care bill Thursdaythat would allow the sale of cheap, bare-bones insurance plans as a way towoo conservatives to support the measure. Moderates also got a win in the new version, with $43 billion more funding to fight opioid addiction. The new bill still isn't a shoo-in to pass. Insurers warn the changes could cause premiums to skyrocketfor older Americans and those with pre-existing conditions. Two Republicans enough to derail the plansaid they wouldn't even vote for a procedural motion to allow a vote on the bill next week.
