No New White House Healthcare Plan

I didn't think there would be, but it turns out that the plan the White House intends to post online will be the final compromise between the Senate and the House bills. Ezra Klein confirms:

I spoke to the White House over the weekend and they indicated that the president's package will not be a new White House plan, but a compromise between the House and Senate bills. That is to say, the White House expects that the House and Senate will have a compromise plan by February 25th.

So at this point, unless something crazy happens, the House will pass the Senate bill and the Senate will pass House fixes via reconciliation. That is, if there are votes in the House.
