Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., introduced a pared-down version of legislation to repeal ObamaCare late Thursday as lawmakers prepared to launch into a marathon “vote-a-rama” amid intense disagreements inside the congressional GOP.
McConnell's revised plan, nicknamed the "skinny repeal," would scrap key provisions of the 2010 Affordable Care Act, including the individual and employer mandate to purchase health insurance or risk fines. It also suspends a tax on medical devices, denies funding to Planned Parenthood, and allows states to seek waivers from consumer protections in the Affordable Care Act.
