Texas Republicans in Congress process health care bill's collapse

Published on July 18, 2017 under CommunityImpact

WASHINGTON – It took less than 24 hours for the defection of two Senate Republicans to bring about the complete collapse of their party’s health care overhaul efforts. The unraveling began Monday evening with the announcements from U.S. Sens. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Jerry Moran, R-Kansas, that they would oppose the current version of a bill overhauling former President Obama’s 2010 health care law. That put U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell two votes short of the minimum 50 votes he needed from his 52-member caucus.   “It was disappointing,” U.S. Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn of Texas said Tuesday.Via Texas Tribune
