How Each Senator Voted on Obamacare Repeal Proposals

The Senate rejected a third Republican proposal to repeal the Affordable Care Act early Friday morning. The “skinny” repeal amendment, called the Health Care Freedom Act, would have repealed the mandates that most individuals have health insurance and that large employers cover their employees, among other provisions.

Earlier this week, the Senate voted against two other amendments: one to repeal and replace the current health law with a new plan and one to just partly repeal it.

John McCain of Arizona cast the decisive vote that caused the amendment to fail. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, two of the most moderate Republicans who also voted against two other repeal plans this week, also voted no.

We need to relay our thanks to those who helped us (A VERY SHORT LIST on the GOP side).

Dem National Committee emailed me that they will probably try to repeal again but I already expected that. We must remain vigilant!
