Alaska U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski said she will work with the state to analyze a bill released by fellow Senate Republicans on Thursday that would overhaul the federal health care law.
The poll also found that while disapproval of Trumpcare, which would deprive millions of Americans of health insurance, is strongest among Democrats and independents, its support among Republicans is only lukewarm, garnering the approval of only 34%.
The Senate bill would phase out extra money that Obama's law provides to states that expanded Medicaid coverage. "Congress must reject this bill and vote with Americans' future in mind". There are provisions in this draft that represent an improvement to our current health care system, but it does not appear this draft as written will accomplish the most important promise that we made to Americans: "to repeal Obamacare and lower their health care costs". The four said they were open to negotiation, with Cruz saying in a separate statement that he wants to "get to yes".
"I want to be supportive of the leadership", Isakson said. "It's serious. We know it affects people back home in a real way". He added that the blueprint "can still be amended and probably will".
That provision in the Senate plan could become a sticking point once the House and Senate begin negotiating a final bill that could pass both chambers and be sent to President Donald Trump's desk to be signed into law. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said, "The president said the Senate bill needed heart".
Patrick Toomey of Pennsylvania said he was "still studying it but it strikes me as a good first step in what will be an ongoing process of fulfilling a commitment we made to the American people". "We have to look at the numbers". My plan is to support the thrust of the bill.
Republican leaders are pushing to hold a vote on the legislation before lawmakers leave for the July 4 recess.

"This would be alarming for any major legislation, but for a bill that would restructure one-sixth of the nation's economy and put millions of children, seniors and families potentially at-risk of losing their health insurance, it is unsafe and irresponsible", Foley said. Susan Collins of ME and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, who have signaled opposition to any bill that would potentially strip health coverage from millions of Americans.
Collins will be "particularly interested in examining the forthcoming CBO analysis on the impact on insurance coverage, the effect on insurance premiums, and the changes in the Medicaid program", the senator's communications director, Annie Clark, said. "And as in the House bill, young adults up to the age of 26 could stay on their parents' health care plans".
