GOP health victory may be fleeting as wary Senate awaits
None
US Senate Republicans wasted no time on Friday showing they have little use for the House bill to repeal and replace Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act amid fears among Americans that people already sick won't be able to get affordable insurance.
"At this point, there seem to be more questions than answers about its consequences," said moderate GOP Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, whose vote may prove one of the hardest to get for President Donald Trump and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
"I don't support the House bill as currently constructed," said Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio. "I continue to have concerns that this bill does not do enough to protect Ohio's Medicaid expansion population." And Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC, said over Twitter: "A bill—finalized yesterday, has not been scored, amendments not allowed, and 3 hours final debate—should be viewed with caution."
