Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) introduced the “Obamacare Repeal” Act Tuesday night after saying that “conservatives are getting squat” from his Senate colleagues when it comes to health care reform, according to his Twitter account.“Health care consumers across America have listened to seven years of promises and fake votes on repeal. There was always an excuse. Today the era of excuses is over and I urge both my Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake to stand with President Trump and support the same full repeal they voted for in the past, knowing Barack Obama would veto it. Today, Republicans have total control of the House and Senate and a President willing to sign repeal. It’s up to our Senators to stand with those of us who voted for Donald Trump last fall, not those with their hands out looking for another taxpayer bailout.” - Dr. Kelli Ward
According to Paul, the bill, called the “Obamacare Repeal Reconciliation Act of 2017,” will be voted on Wednesday around noon.
The conservative senator has been fiercely opposed to the Senate health care bill, dubbing it “Obamacare-Lite” and consistently calling for a vote for a full repeal of Obamacare.
“There’s no promise of a clean repeal vote,” Paul said on “FOX & Friends.” “If they’re not even going to talk with conservatives, if we’re going to be excluded from the process, conservatives don’t need to participate in this pork fest.”
