http://healthcostmanager.com/aca-repeal-process-timeline/

Here's a nice infographic explaining why, if the Senate passes a PPACA repeal bill, the vote on reconcilation of the Senate and the House bills will occur in *2018*.

If we can turn the House in 2018, then in early 2019 there's a shot at repealing the repeal, so to speak.
