GOP leader McConnell to force Senate vote on healthcare repeal

[Geee]

The Hill:

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) will force a vote on healthcare repeal as early as this week despite pledges from Senate Democrats to block the effort.

McConnell told colleagues during a lunch meeting Tuesday that he will offer healthcare reform repeal as an amendment to legislation on the Senate floor.

McConnell told Republican colleagues during a meeting in the Lyndon Baines Johnson room that he would offer the repeal amendment to the Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization bill, according to a Senate GOP source.
The GOP leader plans to offer his amendment later Tuesday afternoon.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has agreed to allow Republicans a vote on the healthcare repeal amendment because they did not filibuster the motion to proceed for the FAA bill.
