Washington observed as John McCain, facing glioblastoma, opposed GOP attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act after signaling doubt. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski also resisted, delaying a vote and urging a clean amendment process amid tense leadership maneuvering.
Senator Lisa Murkowski resisted President Trump's persuasion as she and Sen. Dan Sullivan faced coordinated outreach from the White House and Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke. Murkowski opposed opening debate on health care and joined a trio of Republicans voting against the skinny repeal, while she shelves six Trump nominees in an Interior-related delay.
Iowa senators Grassley and Ernst supported the skinny repeal but the measure failed 49 to 51. The defeat leaves Obamacare’s fate uncertain and potential House Senate action discussed. Medica warned of rising premiums and a single insurer option for many Iowans next year.
House Republicans gathered in the Capitol to assess options after the failed repeal push. Some floated ditching the repeal pledge to work with Democrats to shore up Obamacare, while Trump showed little interest in that course. Rep. Tom MacArthur and Rep. Steve King criticized McCain and Murkowski, with King accusing Murkowski of a 2010 write-in revolt.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer outlined early Democratic aims focusing on stabilizing health care. He urged permanent cost sharing reduction payments, discussed bipartisan potential, and suggested pursuing Kaine and Carper reinsurance plans plus Collins Nelson proposal to aid rural counties lacking insurers. He emphasized initial outreach followed by bipartisan talks.
