Unable to pass even a so-called "skinny repeal," it was unclear if Senate Republicans could advance any health bill despite seven years of promises to repeal "Obamacare." "This is clearly a disappointing moment," said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. "I regret that our efforts were not enough, this time." "It's time to move on," he said. McConnell put the health bill on hold and announced that the Senate would move onto other legislation next week. Trump responded on Twitter: "3 Republicans and 48 Democrats let the American people down. As I said from the beginning, let ObamaCare implode, then deal. Watch!" A key vote to defeat the measure was cast by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who returned to the Senate this week after receiving a diagnosis of brain cancer. In an impassioned speech the day he returned, McCain had called for bipartisanship on major issues of national concern, and a return to the "regular order" of legislating by committee. Three Republicans joined with all Democrats to reject the amendment, which would have repealed a mandate that most individuals get health insurance and suspended a requirement that large companies provide coverage to their employees. It would have also delayed a tax on medical devices and denied funding to Planned Parenthood for a year. The final vote was 49-51. Republicans Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine joined McCain in voting no. The amendment was a last resort for Senate Republicans to pass something — anything — to trigger negotiations with the House. "It's time to turn the page," said Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer of New York. "We are not celebrating. We are relieved." Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price said in a statement the Trump administration would pursue its health care goals through regulation. "This effort will continue," Price said. ____ The insurance company lobby group, America's Health Insurance Plans, wrote to Senate leaders Thursday saying that ending Obama's requirement that people buy insurance without strengthening insurance markets would produce "higher premiums, fewer choices for consumers and fewer people covered next year." And a bipartisan group of governors including John Kasich of Ohio and Brian Sandoval of Nevada also announced against it. Wow, McCain steps up and backs up his words. --- [Feminist][CisGender][Straight Supporter][Non-Binary] I'm not Ashamed to Dress 'like a Woman' because I don't think it's Shameful to be a Woman. ~Iggy Pop~ <cite>lydiaquayle posted [p:883741296] in McCain cas...
