Agree - Corker is holding the budget deal up temporarily, but we should get
ready to hit them.

Health care deal is interesting - Politico reporting that reconciliation
instructions could be used to make "fix" to King v. Burwell problem instead
of repeal Obamacare.  See:

Conservatives did get a win with the budget focused on an Obamacare repeal,
a key priority for the House Freedom Caucus.

But one GOP source said that does not mean leadership has ruled out using
the procedure to instead pass a “fix” to *King v. Burwell*. The Supreme
Court case, a ruling on which is expected in June, could knock down the
health subsidies awarded through federal Obamacare exchanges, leaving about
8 million people without money they were counting on to pay their health
bills.

Republicans could decide use the procedure to move legislation to help
those millions and forgo the repeal.
