David Brancaccio: 参议院目前正在就一项大型税收和支出法案进行辩论，并以极快的速度处理大量的修正案。这使得整个过程充满了变数，结果难以预测。
Kimberly Adams: 作为共和党推动法案通过的策略，他们利用和解规则允许参议员们提出无限的修正案。虽然每个修正案的辩论时间很短，但参议员们可以借此机会修改法案内容，同时也可以利用它来宣传自己的政治立场。民主党参议员们正试图通过提出修正案来突出法案中可能存在的危害，特别是对医疗补助和社会保障等项目的削减。一些共和党参议员也提出了修正案，例如增加农村医院基金。目前，一些参议员对医疗补助的削减表示担忧，因为这可能导致数百万人失去医疗保险。北卡罗来纳州的参议员Tom Tillis和肯塔基州的参议员Rand Paul已经表示，他们将因为医疗补助削减和增加赤字等问题而投反对票。即使参议院通过了该法案，众议院也可能因为赤字问题而反对。此外，众议院共和党人对参议院更严厉的医疗补助削减以及对绿色能源税收抵免的取消也表示担忧。
