Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), who has played a central role in negotiating the Senate healthcare reform bill, says a new version of the legislation is expected to be unveiled Monday.
The revised bill gives Senate GOP leaders a second chance to round up 50 votes to repeal and replace major parts of ObamaCare, after their first attempt stalled before the July Fourth recess because of divisions within the Republican conference.
“We’ve got a new version that comes out today. We’ll get new scores from CBO. And there’s a shot of getting to 50 [votes]. Mike Pence breaks the tie,” Toomey, who sits on a special 13-member working group that helped put the legislation together, told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” in an interview Monday morning.

Have a way for us to opt out of obamacare if we do not want it!!
Full title....................Key GOP senator: Revised Senate healthcare bill expected Monday
Are they still making believe that they will do something on this?
A sucker born every.....
There are at least 10 solid votes against the current plan. I don't see how they get that down to 2.
I’m guessing the House will kick this to the curb.
Will they EVER get to a clean repeal? Doubtful.
Agreed. Even if they managed to get 8 of those votes on board, chances are they lost others elsewhere by doing it.
Yep..kabuki!
Don’t worry, we have another bill we might let you know about it next week...maybe it will get 50 votes.....maybe....
Alexander, Corker, Flake, Gardner, Graham, Hatch, Heller, Hoeven, Murkowsky, McCain, Rubio, Burr, Tillis, Portman, McConnell, Thune, Cornyn, Cochran, Isackson, Blunt, Johnson, Toomey, Capito, Rounds, Fischer, Collins, Wicker, Sasse are all Democrats in R jerseys.
A whole lot of Cantorizing needs to happen.
Start with those up in 18’. Flake would be the real prize. Should all Freepers target him? As I see it the primary is in Sept.
Where is Mike Pence in all of this?
He is the President’s point person for the healthcare bill.
He already failed on the first House bill, which was used by Ryan to embarrass the President.
And Ted Cruz—he was supposed to be McConnell’s point person on the healthcare bill.
Trump should say, if a healthcare bill is not passed by August 1st, then an EO will be signed making all Senators and House members and their staffs lose their present gold-plated health plan, and they must go on the Ocare exchanges to get health coverage.
Let the chips fall where they may.
Every time the GOP has the majority they flat out SUCK. At this rate we will lose the majority at midterms and possibly the presidency next election.
McConnell has no interest in Ted’s fix for the problem.
It’s going to be “Charlie Gard Care”.
What scares me is that yes, they do know that, and that’s what many of them want.
That would be wonderful!
Yes it is.
