The new Senate bill's major provisions
#26
It's already dead meat and the plan B to just repeal Obamacare (really a murderous plan which will shove 32M out of insurance) is dead in the water as well:

Quote:Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's backup plan for his healthcare overhaul has already come apart less then 24 hours after he introduced it. Sen. Lisa Murkowski on Tuesday became the third GOP senator to publicly announce an intent to vote against a motion to proceed, a key procedural vote, for a bill that would only repeal the Affordable Care Act, the law better known as Obamacare. "I said in January that we should not repeal without a replacement," Murkowski told reporters on Tuesday. "And just an indefinite hold on this just creates more chaos and confusion." Murkowski joined Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia in defecting from the repeal-only plan.

"I do not think that it's constructive to repeal a law that is so interwoven within our healthcare system without having a replacement plan in place," Collins said in a statement. "We can't just hope that we will pass a replacement within the next two years. Repealing without a replacement would create great uncertainty for individuals who rely on the ACA and cause further turmoil in the insurance markets."
