Republican Susan Collins of Maine late Monday said she would vote against a key procedural step, joining Rand Paul of Kentucky and Dean Heller of Nevada.
Senate leaders released a slightly revised version of their health care bill Monday as Mitch McConnell tries to win over enough holdouts to pass the measure, with at least six Republicans signaling opposition.
The Senate can only stand to lose two votes in the Senate if they want to pass the American Health Care Act. Will the GOP be able to please the holdouts before a possible vote next week?
The long-awaited GOP Senate draft of the American Health Care Act has finally been unveiled. Here is what's different from the version which passed the House in May.
So far, Democrats have had a tough time getting their message out as the Russia investigations are dominating news coverage and reporters are talking primarily to Republicans in a health debate that relies only on their votes.
Both sides of the aisle say the latest hurdle for the GOP involves a part in the AHCA which strikes the ACA's cost-sharing subsidies available to low-income Americans, including a provision extending them to Native Americans.
