Republicans offered competing ideas for what to do next on healthcare Monday night, now that the current ObamaCare replacement effort has fallen apart.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) acknowledged late Monday that the chamber’s current approach would fail after two more senators announced opposition to the current healthcare draft.
Without the needed votes, he said, the Senate will take up a repeal-only bill that Congress passed in 2015.
Three GOP senators declared they could not vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act without a replacement, enough to doom the latest GOP effort before it could get any momentum.
