The Senate rejected a proposal Wednesday that would have repealed major parts of the Affordable Care Act and provided a two-year delay for lawmakers to develop a substitute, indicating that in the immediate future Republicans can only muster a majority for modest changes to the current law.
In two separate votes over the course of less than 24 hours, lawmakers have rejected different approaches to rewriting the landmark 2010 law known as Obamacare. But many Republicans have expressed an openness to passing a minimalist measure that abolishes two of the ACA’s insurance mandates and a single tax on medical devices, which is being dubbed “skinny repeal.”
GOP leaders have emphasized it is a way for the Senate to start negotiations with the House, and perhaps the one way they can sustain their seven-year drive to dismantle the health care law.

congress now is a one party system it is a Obama and Clinton party, with an accidental election of new comer. It is a party of for myself alone and where is my money party and that is the only thing that counts. Keep on voting for these people, people and you will get the same results they are more important than the ones elected for them. They will tell you anything you want to hear during election and then they will revert back to me, myself alone.
