- Shelley Moore Capito
- John McCain

Six of those seven senators previously voted yes on this repeal-only plan in 2015, which Obama vetoed when it hit his desk.

What a shame. They had 2 years to work out a replacement under this bill. Punishing everyone for the benefit of a few really is not how our system is supposed to work.
all of the illegal alien amnesty backers like McCain and Alexander voted to keep Obamacare today!
- Shelley Moore Capito
- John McCain
- Lisa Murkowski
- Susan Collins
- Lamar Alexander
- Rob Portman
- Dean Heller
The "skinny repeal" was the one I really wanted. Very disappointed in the 3 Republicans who voted against it. McCain is a menace and Lisa and Susan, I just don't know why have seem to have so much in common when it comes to killing important legislation that will propel our country forward to a better place.
