    Don’t get too excited about the text of the bill yet. It’s basically the former House bill. The mark-up begins today and they will strip the language from the bill and replace it with the reconciliation bill. I don’t think we’ll know exactly what it looks like until today at the earliest.

    Ezra Klein explains:

    Did the House just release its reconciliation package?
    Nope. The bill on the House Budget Committee’s web site that’s being called the reconciliation bill is not the reconciliation bill, or at least not what people mean when they talk about the reconciliation bill. It’s the bill that will become the reconciliation bill. You see this occasionally in the House and Senate, where the oddities of the rules occasionally make it useful to put a new bill in the hollowed-out shell of an old bill.
