GOP Sens. Jerry Moran (Kansas) and Mike Lee (Utah) announced on Monday night they will not support taking up a bill repealing and replacing ObamaCare, effectively blocking the legislation.
"This closed-door process has yielded the [bill], which fails to repeal the Affordable Care Act or address healthcare’s rising costs. For the same reasons I could not support the previous version of this bill, I cannot support this one," Moran said in a statement.
Lee added on Twitter that "my colleague @JerryMoran and I will not support the MTP to this version of BCRA."

Yep. And we will have a rat house and rat senate.
Obamacare is going to down the tubes all on its own
going to down = going down
The GOP is more of my enemy than the Democrats.
At least I can respect the Democrats for straight-up telling me they hate America and want it dead.
The GOP can’t even be honest about the same desire.
Rush just lit up the beltway GOP today over the obamacare repeal scam. They want Obamacare. Couldn’t be more clear.
All of this goes back to the feckless Republicans, conservative think-tanks, columnists, etc. who all sat on their @sses and squatted to piss over healthcare ever since Hillarycare crashed and never made the case for free market healthcare.
McCain has attempted amnesty for illegal aliens multiple times and has been re-elected multiple times.
Rubio sponsored the last one and was re-elected.
Murkowsky and Hoeven voted for it and were re-elected.
Corker, Hatch, Heller and Flake did as well and are up in 2018.
If we are serious about making America Great Again we first have to fire the people trying to abandon the rule of law and give away the country.
Trump should grab Price and 6 of the top health care doctors in the country and the CEO’s of the top insurance companies and lock them in a room until they produce Something for “we the people.”
Then let the Republicrats kill it because they get none of the lobbying perks.
Or just lock the beltway GOP in a room and promise them if obamacare isn’t dealt with the next item on the agenda is “campaign finance reform”. And Bernie will be writing the bill. LOL.
Call the GOP and SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN Untilnthey repeal Obamacare in its entirety.
We should be out in the streets and sitting in their offices until they do.
This will not stand.
I’d Trump wants to form a new political party I’m there.
I’m DONE with these twits.
“So when obozocare goes belly up, who gets blamed?”
Simple, the conservatives by voting for it to begin with and then not repealing it when it was determined to fail. At least that’s the way the public will get it from the liberal media and then remember it, or selectively forgetting it, without ever applying any of the liberals acts at either time. And the stupid people will buy into it because they media doesn’t lie, does it?

THe gope would rather lose control of congress than repeal Ocare
And if you can’t get them out in primary have someone run as third party.
Declare that Obamacare is no longer in effect in states with no more Obamacare insurers (or perhaps even in states in which a majority of counties have no Obamacare insurers)?
At some point he’s fgot to start killing the bill by stopping subsidizing things that aren’t passed by law. Removing all exemptions
“Any guesses on what Trump’s next move will be?”
Single payer. The fight is going to be over the size and shape of the private option:
REPEAL the damn thing!
I 2nd the motion for a straight repeal!
“The voters of this country want Obamacare to be repealed”
No they don’t.
Amen brother
