McConnell: ‘I Regret’ the Effort to Repeal and Immediately Replace ObamaCare ‘Will Not Be Successful’

EXCERPT:

McCONNELL: "I regret that the effort to repeal and immediately replace the failures of ObamaCare will not be successful. That doesn’t mean we should give up. We will now try a different way to bring the American people relief from ObamaCare. I think we owe them at least that much. In the coming days, the Senate will pick up and vote on repeal of ObamaCare combined with a stable two-year transition period as we work toward patient-centered health care. A majority of the Senate voted to pass the same repeal legislation back in 2015. President Obama vetoed it then. President Trump will sign it now. I imagine many Democrats were celebrating last night. I hope they consider what they are celebrating. The American people are hurting, they need relief. And it’s regretful that our Democratic colleagues decided early on they did not want to engage with us seriously in the process to deliver that relief."
