Two Senators Don’t See House Bill Passing

March 7, 2017 · 12:51 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO) said that the House Republican plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act may not be able to get a majority of votes to pass, CNN reports.

Said Blunt: “What I don’t like is it may not be a plan that gets a majority votes and let’s us move on.”

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) also said the legislation will not pass: “This is Obamacare lite. It will not pass. Conservatives are not going to take it.”
