Senate rejects repeal-only ObamaCare plan
« on: July 26, 2017, 08:21:29 pm »
WASHINGTON — The Senate voted Wednesday to defeat a bill that would have repealed Obamacare within two years without any immediate plan to replace the sweeping health care law.

Senators voted 45-55 in favor of the bill, falling six votes short of the 51 needed to pass it. Seven Republicans voted against it: John McCain of Arizona, Dean Heller of Nevada, Susan Collins of Maine, Rob Portman of Ohio, Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia.

The vote comes on the second day of a 20-hour Senate debate on health care as Republican leaders scramble to win enough votes from their own members to pass something to replace the Affordable Care Act. The Senate began its session Wednesday morning with about 17 hours left in the debate.

Senate rejects repeal-only ObamaCare plan
By Jordain Carney - 07/26/17 04:11 PM EDT

Senators on Wednesday rejected a key proposal that would repeal much of ObamaCare despite intense pressure from conservatives.

Senators voted 55-45 against an amendment from Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) that would repeal the Affordable Care Act and give lawmakers two years to come up with a replacement.

GOP Sens. Lamar Alexander (Tenn.) Shelley Moore Capito (W.Va.), Susan Collins (Maine), Dean Heller (Nev.), John McCain (Ariz.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Rob Portman (Ohio) joined all Democrats in voting no.

Nope different vote.  IIRC the vote yesterday was to begin floor debates on a healthcare replacement.  And even that took the VP acting as a tie breaker to get done.

All seven of those Republicans need to be primaried.
