Senate Republicans are getting closer to introducing their plan to replace Obamacare, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday, though he gave no details and some members said they’re not expecting action on a bill anytime soon.
"We’re getting closer to having a proposal that we’ll be bringing up in the near future," McConnell of Kentucky told reporters after a closed-door Senate GOP luncheon. "We’ve had seven years to talk about health care," he said. "We believe we can do better than the status quo."
