Does Harry Reid want Single Premium Payor? Is this why he is doing this?
I think Reid is doing this because first and foremost he isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer. Beyond that I think they believe they’ll lose the Senate but GOP won’t get near 60 seats.
As for the GOP leadership?

This is my summation of what’s going on. Short version is there are 3 factions in the GOP. McCain and a few others want to surrender. Another group wants to let it go so it crashes and burns and GOP wins Senate control. The last group led by Cruz knows this will harm people and wants to stop it. I am in their camp.
