Hello listeners it is Thursday April 27th 2017 I am your host Scott Land and

you are listening to Politico's nerd cast

Well, the past few weeks have had a what's new as old feel to them with all this special election talk over and over again. Well, this week, House Republicans' health care bill is back seemingly from the dead, and

that's what we're going to talk about first. We're going to dive into what's new about this

proposal, whether it can attract enough support from members in battleground districts and even how one

members foot surgery could impact things going forward. That's not the only

policy making big news this week. The White House also released very broad

outlines of a tax reform proposal just inside

Trump's 100-day mark of his administration. We'll talk more about that too.

And we'll also talk about the argument the Democratic Party has been having with

itself this week about just how big

their party's tent should be on the complicated and divisive issue of abortion.
