WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell acknowledged Monday night that he lacked the votes to pass the
Senate health care bill after two more Republican senators came out
against it, leaving the party short of a majority.
Instead, he said the Senate would vote on a
full repeal of Obamacare, with two years before the repeal goes into
effect to allow time to create a new system. The new plan may appear to
fulfill a seven-year GOP promise, but it faces extremely difficult odds
after many moderate Republican senators have already come out against
repeal without an immediate replacement.
Sens. Jerry Moran of Kansas and Mike Lee of
Utah set the chain of events in motion Monday night when they announced
on Twitter that they both would oppose the current bill, which was
released just last week.
