"Republicans are determined to take away affordable healthcare from millions of Americans. They don’t care how well the law works, or how many people that it helps. Republicans are going to take away access to health insurance to millions.
Mitch McConnell has been defeated again and is taking steps by the day to become as bad of a leader as Speaker of the House John Boehner."

Seriously, get over it!
Senate Democrats have blocked an amendment to repeal Obamacare that Mitch McConnell attached to the transportation bill. The final vote was 49-43, which was 11 votes short of 60 needed for passage. The McConnell amendment was overshadowed by the looming procedural move that was going to be pulled by Sens. Ted Cruz and Mike Lee to try to use the nuclear option to repeal Obamacare with 51 votes. Senate Republicans like Orrin Hatch argued against the move that Cruz and Lee tried to pull by claiming that if they were successful, Senate leaders would lose control of the calendar and agenda. In other words, if Cruz and Lee were successful, the Senate would become the House.
