Senate Rejects ACA Repeal
The vote came following the House's action to repeal the law
The Senate rejected a key proposal repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, on Tuesday night as senators start a days-long debate on healthcare.
Senators voted 43-57 on a procedural hurdle for the measure that included the GOP's repeal and a replace bill, the Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA), as well as proposals from Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rob Portman (R-OH).
The proposal was the first amendment to get a vote after senators took up the House-passed healthcare bill, known as the American Health Care Act (AHCA) or Trumpcare, which is being used as a vehicle for any Senate action, earlier Tuesday.
