Republican senators complained about their party's secretive health care bill Wednesday, a day before GOP leaders planned to finally release their plan for erasing much of President Barack Obama's health care law. "We believe we can do better than the Obamacare status quo, and we fully intend to do so," said McConnell, R-Ky. Complaints about the measure — which McConnell has spent weeks drafting behind closed doors — were coming from all along the GOP political spectrum. The budget office concluded that the House-approved version of the bill would cost 23 million Americans health coverage by 2026. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, and other GOP senators from states that expanded Medicaid were still battling to prolong the phase-out of that money to seven years.
