Sens. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) “and their allies on Capitol Hill and in the White House continued to work on tweaking their plan on Friday evening even after Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) dealt the bill an apparent death blow on Friday afternoon,” Politico reports.

“A new version of the legislation could drop as soon as this weekend.”

“McCain and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) oppose the bill to block grant the federal health care program to the states, and Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) is leaning against voting for the bill. The changes may be aimed at Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), whose sparsely populated state suffers from unique health care costs and challenges.”

“The Trump administration plans to shut down the federal health insurance exchange for 12 hours during all but one Sunday in the upcoming Obamacare open enrollment season,” CNN reports.

“The Department of Health and Human Services will also shut down the federal exchange — healthcare.gov — overnight on the first day of open enrollment, Nov. 1. More than three dozen states use that exchange for their marketplaces.”

Politico: “When John McCain cast the decisive vote against Obamacare repeal two months ago, Chuck Schumer waved an arm to quiet fellow Democrats as they burst into audible elation. Don’t gloat or cheer over the GOP’s failure, Schumer signaled — a move he made again on Friday in a statement, after McCain delivered what looks like a fatal blow to his party’s seven-year drive to dismantle the Affordable Care Act. Far from celebrating, Democrats tempered their responses to McCain with reminders of the bipartisan health care talks that Republicans had walked away from when they took one last shot at repealing Obamacare.”

“And even as their liberal base turned a rally to pressure McCain into a thank-you celebration, Democrats stopped far short of declaring repeal dead… Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s office did not immediately respond to questions about whether he will still hold the vote on the bill.”
