McConnell: Congress will immediately repeal Obamacare
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says they’ll delay changes until they come up with an alternative.
The Kentucky Republican insisted that some 20 million Americans who have health care through the six-year-old law will not lose coverage, though the likely upheaval in the insurance industry suggests many could.

Asked about the Senate’s timetable to scrap the law, McConnell said: “We’re going to move to it after we go back in the first week in January.”
But during a speech in his hometown of Louisville, the senator cautioned patience from the law’s critics as Republicans create an alternative.
“You can’t just snap your fingers and go from where we are today to where we’re headed,” McConnell told a crowd at the Kentucky Farm Bureau’s annual meeting. “This has to be done carefully. It has to be done in a phased-in way over a period of time.”
