Speaking about Republicans’ stalled efforts to revamp the Affordable Care Act, July 18, Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) said he would “like to see a bill that people actually liked.”
President Trump on July 18 said he is “very surprised” that Sens. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) opposed a Senate bill aiming to revamp the Affordable Care Act.
The Senate Republicans' health-care bill was dealt a fatal blow on July 17, when two more senators came out against it. Now President Trump is suggesting to repeal Obamacare, let the insurance market fail and then make "a great healthcare plan."
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said he "regrets" that Republicans can't reach an agreement on repealing and immediately replacing Obamacare on July 18, and said the party will pursue a repeal effort now and replacement legislation later.
