There's a good chance that they won't be able to come to a consensus, at least not as soon as they would like, and then there would be changes. Hopefully, a lot of changes.

Some people are saying highly inflammatory things right now. Some of them are really scary. I can't listen to those comments or the particulars of the bill anymore because it's driving up my anxiety.
I would avoid watching or listening to the news it because it seems like it's really exacerbating your anxiety, too.
