Senate to Delay August Recess to Buy Time for Legislation "The onetime presidential candidate said, "(In the latest version) we are keeping more of the Obamacare taxes ... and keeping more of the Obamacare subsidies and adding $70 billion to the insurance bailout superfund".

Republicans have 52 seats in the Senate and need 51 "yes" votes for the motion to proceed.

The Affordable Care Act is still in effect, though Congress is working to find an alternative to the law.

Republican Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas, Mike Lee of Utah and Tim Scott of SC all publicly said Thursday they hadn't decided whether to back McConnell's reworked bill. "And I think right now we're just trying to find the sweet spot", Thune said.

Amodei says neither version of the bill will repeal and replace the ACA, but it will change it.
