Senate Republicans Officially Abandon Graham-Cassidy Healthcare Bill
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Senate Republicans have officially abandoned their latest effort to
repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, after again they failed to
muster enough votes to pass the legislation. The Congressional Budget
Office says the Graham-Cassidy bill would have caused millions to lose
their insurance. This is the latest in a series of failed Republican
efforts to repeal Obamacare and replace it with plans that would slash
funding for Medicaid and give the rich lavish tax cuts.
