not really
it needs to get out of committee first, then needs 60 votes to invoke cloture and end debate, then needs to pass the whole Senate, then reconcile if it’s different from the house version, then vote again, and if that passes then has to be signed or vetoed by the President.
it just had the first pitch, still a long ways away from the bottom of the ninth.
will it happen? Maybe. But not a done deal by any means.
