Obamacare Repeal Flames Out In The Republican Senate

Seven years of Republican promises to repeal the Affordable Care Act withered away to almost nothing on the Senate floor early Friday morning.

The Republican majority in Congress has voted dozens of times since 2011 to repeal all or part of the Affordable Care Act, and a central element of the GOP?s pitch to voters during last year?s election was that giving Donald Trump the keys to the White House and leaving Congress in the Republican Party?s hands was all that was needed to bring an end to Obamacare.

But when presented with their first genuine opportunity to do so ― and to have to answer for the consequences ― enough Republican senators flinched that the effort failed, despite pressure from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and President Trump. Voting to dramatically increase the number of uninsured Americans is easier when you know it can?t happen than when you know it will.
