Graham–Cassidy → Graham–Cassidy health care amendment – Makes title more clear, instead of just being the combined name of two senators. If there was a more official name for the amendment, that would probably make most sense as a title (e.x. McCain-Feingold), but since is there none the title should probably at least reference its status as an amendment relating to healthcare. Jw12321 (talk) 19:37, 28 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose - Per WP:COMMONNAME, it's called "Graham-Cassidy" in most news articles and by most people. Including by Jimmy Kimmel, who called it the "Graham-Cassidy bill".ZXCVBNM (TALK) 20:56, 28 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - seems more encyclopedic. Academicoffee71 (talk) 02:33, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Agree that the current title using just two linked surnames seems a little spare, particularly since sources often refer to it as the "Graham-Cassidy bill" (a briefer alternative that I'd also support). ╠╣uw [talk] 10:54, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - adds clarity. The shorter "Graham-Cassidy" can still be used throughout, but the full title would clarify the page's topic to readers not already familiar enough to rely on a shortened title. Shelbystripes (talk) 04:27, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Alternatively, we could rename it *Graham–Cassidy (health care amendment)*. It keeps it's current name, while the brackets indicate what IT IS. Emass100 (talk) 10:37, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
