After delay, Senate Republicans struggle not to let healthcare stall

Following a delay in Senate Republicans’ efforts to repeal and replace ObamaCare, lawmakers are struggling to move forward with viable legislation that can pass the upper chamber.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) late Saturday was forced to delay an expected vote this week on the legislation while Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) recovers from surgery.

Pessimism peppered appearances by senators on this week’s Sunday show circuit, including the two senators who last week came out against the motion to proceed on the bill. 

“At the end of the day, I don’t know whether it will pass,” Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), one of the “no” votes, told CNN’s “State of the Union.”
