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."

Yeah. Trump carried the GOP to victory almost alone but the GOP is really doing nothing in return for Trump. Nothing. What has the GOP really done this session at all (except for Trump)??!!! I would be furious. Trump has been incredibly effective almost going it alone, but if the GOP congress does totally nothing....
The politicians are perfectly content with taxpayers subsidizing insurance companies, healthcare providers, drug companies etc and making them all rich but doing nothing to actually reduce the cost of healthcare and making it more effective.
We’d be better off if all health insurance and all subsidies were eliminated. Then only the freemarket and outcomes will matter.
mike Lee is bought and paid for by the COC
How ridiculous can you get. All that time Pubs were repeatedly voting to kill Obamacare, why didn’t they have a better plan ready to put forth in case they succeeded. Much too little, much too late.
Can you imagine any non Republican you might be interested in voting for next time?
At this point, I will not take your Hobson’s Choice.
Voting for the Democrats is like taking a .45 slug to the temple.
Voting for Establishment Republicans, on the other hand, is like taking a .22 slug to the temple.
