GOP senators suggest bill to repeal health care law ‘dead’
10 July 2017 - The initial GOP bill to repeal and replace the US’s health law is probably “dead” and President Donald Trump’s proposal to just repeal it appears to be a “non-starter”, two moderate Republican senators indicated yesterday as their party scrambled to salvage faltering legislation.
“We don’t know what the plan is,” said senator Bill Cassidy. “Clearly, the draft plan is dead. Is the serious rewrite plan dead? I don’t know.”
Senator John McCain said it may now be time for Republicans to come up with a new proposal with support from Democrats. “I think my view is it’s probably going to be dead,” he said of the bill.
