Senate GOP Leader Says “Skinny” Obamacare Repeal Has “Best Chance At Getting Us To Conference”

Come on Republican Senators, you can do it on Healthcare. After 7 years, this is your chance to shine! Don't let the American people down!

Right on schedule, President Donald Trump is out with his latest tweet urging Republicans to pass health-care reform: “Come on Republican Senators, you can do it on Healthcare. After 7 years, this is your chance to shine! Don’t let the American people down!”
Like they say, third time’s the charm.
President Donald Trump may have spoken too soon when he praised Senate Republicans as ‘patriots’ who would swiftly put an end to the ‘tyranny’ of Obamacare earlier this week after the chamber passed a crucial motion to proceed with a plan to repeal the controversial health-care law.
But that plan, as well as the Senate’s repeal-and-replace alternative, have now been rejected. So, with few options remaining, the Senate Republican leadership now believes its best chance of passing health-care reform by the end of the week lies with a so-called ‘skinny repeal’ bill that was drafted last week.
