The GOP's health bill failed as defections by Mike Lee of Utah and Jerry Moran of Kansas, in addition to previous opposition by Senators Rand Paul of Kentucky and Susan Collins of Maine, sank the measure. What's next? Repeal.
Besides the delay in the CBO's release of financial estimates of the revised health bill's impact, a senator's medical emergency adds a complication -- will it buy McConnell time to persuade the holdouts?
Republican leaders are now planning to retain the ACA's 3.8 percent tax on net investment income for people who earn more than $200,000 and couples with incomes over $250,000, as well as a 0.9 percent Medicare surtax on the same incomes.
Donald Trump said if Republican senators cant strike a deal on their health bill, they should immediately repeal the Affordable Care Act and replace it later, a reversal of his earlier position.
A vote on the Better Care Reconciliation Act will now come after the July 4th recess.
