Senators Lee and Moran pull support killing current version of Obamacare 2.0 bill
A Monday evening meeting between President Trump and six GOP senators won’t have the effect intended, as Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Sen. Jerry Moran issued a joint statement indicating that neither would vote to move the current version of the Republican health care bill forward.
My colleague @SenMikeLee and I will not support the MTP to this version of BCRA. #HealthcareBill

For the same reasons I could not support the previous version of this bill, I cannot support this one. #HealthcareBill

Well, then … that’s it for this version of the legislation.
NEW: Mike Lee and Jerry Moran OPPOSE the Senate health care bill. (If you’re counting, that means it’s dead as written.)

Mike Lee now says he’ll vote no on the Senate GOP Healthcare bill, joining Rand Paul in in acting to let Obamacare stand.

This is exactly right regarding the real life consequences of not even letting this bill come to the Senate floor https://t.co/MwIF9YRvPU

Now four GOP “no”s to latest version of Obamacare repeal in Senate. Max 48 votes in favor. This version is dead https://t.co/cZY16iXEQl
