Senate Democrats on Thursday night accused Republicans of conspiring to quickly get the Senate to pass a “skinny” Obamacare repeal bill and then turn around and quickly pass that same bill in the House Friday under “martial law.”

That seemed unlikely as of Thursday night, as Speaker Paul Ryan indicated he would be willing to enter into a conference with the Senate in order to negotiate a more favorable healthcare reform bill. That process could take weeks and would likely require talks past the August recess.
