Statement

Date: July 17, 2017
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Health and Health Care Legislative Branch

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) made the following statement regarding a vote to repeal Obamacare:

"Regretfully, it is now apparent that the effort to repeal and immediately replace the failure of Obamacare will not be successful.

"So, in the coming days, the Senate will vote to take up the House bill with the first amendment in order being what a majority of the Senate has already supported in 2015 and that was vetoed by then-President Obama: a repeal of Obamacare with a two-year delay to provide for a stable transition period to a patient-centered health care system that gives Americans access to quality, affordable care."
