Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) told CNN’s Dana Bash that he will vote against a motion to proceed to the Senate’s healthcare bill if the vote is held this week.
He became the fourth GOP senator to say Monday that he will not vote to move forward the Senate’s bill to repeal and replace ObamaCare in its current form.
……
Three other senators said they would vote against the motion to proceed; Republican Sens. Rand Paul (Ky.), Susan Collins (Maine) and Dean Heller (Nev.) each said they wouldn’t support the measure in its current form.
The defections come hours after the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) analysis of the measure said it would cause 22 million more Americans to be uninsured in 10 years.
