McConnell Threatens Republicans: If We Don’t Pass Trumpcare, We’ll Have To Fix Obamacare

On Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) threatened the members of his own party in the Senate, warning that if they didn’t pass the Senate plan to rewrite the Affordable Care Act, the Senate would have to pass a watered-down version of the bill with Democratic support.

McConnell said, “If my side is unable to agree on an adequate replacement, then some kind of action with regard to the private health insurance market must occur. No action is not an alternative. We’ve got the insurance markets imploding all over the country, including in this state.”
