BREAKING: Senate Republicans admitted defeat late Monday afternoon in their latest attempt to undo the Affordable Care Act, even as they aired the plan’s details at a raucous hearing before the Finance Committee.
The panel’s chairman Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah) told reporters that he did not think the measure would come up for a floor vote by the end of the week, after which point Republicans lose the budget authority they need to pass a health-care bill by a simply majority. A short time later, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) announced she would not support the legislation.
Both developments followed in quick succession a forecast by the Congressional Budget Office, which predicted that the bill would reduce insurance coverage by “millions” by 2026, as well as lower the federal deficit by at least the $133 billion of an earlier House bill.
