The Obamacare repeal has once again found itself facing more delays. Getting the bill passed has given the Trump administration many headaches. Finding a proper Obamacare replacement is harder than many thought. Law makers are not happy with the standard of the bill as it stands.
The Senators are asking that more be done to the bill. Some Senators threaten to move away from this process, if the bill isn’t changed. Senator Lindsey Graham said “I’d rather get of out of the way and have it collapse, than have a half-assed approach where it is now our problem.”
No Replacement
At a news conference Graham said “the skinny bill as policy is a disaster, “The skinny bill as a replacement for Obamacare is a fraud.” An attempt to have a vote by Saturday was played down by Republican Conservatives.
Chris Collins, who is a Trump ally, was pushing for the Saturday move. The Senate preferred to give themselves until Tuesday.
Amendments to the bill has seen the Senate in a rare all night session. The process has caused much frustration among the Senators. The Republican Senators have showed their disapproval to their leaders.
Mitch McConnell, the Senate Majority Leader is pushing to get the bill passed. He is hoping the bill is passed, so it can be discussed in more detail among the House and Senate.
