Senator Ron Johnson Announces He will Not Support The GOP Health Bill
Republicans Just Lost Another Crucial Vote In Obamacare Repeal Effort.
Senator Ron Johnson, Republican of Wisconsin, told CNN’s Dana Bash that he will vote against a motion to proceed with the Senate’s health care bill if the vote is held this week.
New: @RonJohnsonWI just told me if senate gop leadership insists on moving to h care this week he will vote against motion to proceed.
— Dana Bash (@DanaBashCNN) June 27, 2017
Johnson becomes the fourth Republican senator to announce they will vote no on the GOP bill to replace Obamacare.
The three other senators who said they would vote against the motion to proceed are Republicans Rand Paul (Ky.), Susan Collins (Maine) and Dean Heller (Nev.).
The GOP defections have come just hours after the Congressional Budget Office released its analysis of Republican measure which found that 22 million Americans would lose their insurance over 10 years.
