Senate Republicans have only until the end of September repeal Obamacare under a special legislative process. There were signs today that the GOP is getting closer to the needed number of votes. Sen. John McCain of Arizona told MSNBC he might “reluctantly” vote for the measure offered by Republican Semators Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana. Their bill gets rid of the individual and employer mandates and the 2.3% tax on medical devices, and block-grants money to states, leaving reform up to governors.
