Senate Republicans on Thursday unveiled revised legislation to roll back the Affordable Care Act as they labor to rally enough votes to formally open debate of their sweeping bill next week. “The latest proposed changes to the Senate healthcare bill would make access to health coverage worse for those with preexisting conditions like cancer,” said Chris Hansen, president of the American Cancer Society’s advocacy arm. In fact, even before the revised bill was released, two Republican senators floated their own rival plan. McConnell has indicated he intends to push ahead once the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has reviewed the revised legislation. Cruz demanded that the revised legislation bill further loosen requirements on health plans.
