GOP Plans for Health Care on Life Support
A revised Senate health care plan is stalled and new plan to repeal much of ObamaCare also appears to be on legislative life support.
FOX’s Jared Halpern has more from Capitol Hill:
Lacking the votes for a simultaneous repeal and replace plan, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says the Senate will now move forward on an old idea, repealing the Affordable Care Act with a two-year delay to pass replacement legislation:
(McConnell) “A majority of the Senate voted to pass the same repeal legislation back in 2015.”
Then it was vetoed by President Obama. But this repeal-only plan may also face a numbers problem. Two Republicans have already signaled opposition, that’s the maximum GOP leaders can afford without votes from Democrats.
