Passing an Obamacare replacement won’t be any easier in the Senate than in the House, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday while refusing to guarantee that his chamber’s plan will keep all of the House bill’s tax cuts.

"This is a really tough issue," the Kentucky Republican said in an interview with Bloomberg News. "You all covered extensively the difficulty of getting a bill out of the House. It won’t be any easier getting it out of the Senate."
