Amount patients would have to pay up front for their own care would violate maximums set in U.S. law.

A Republican fallback plan to repeal all of the ACA without a replacement health program would lead to 32 million more people uninsured than under current law.

McConnell’s day-old proposal to simply repeal the ACA appears to already be dead as three Republican senators, such as Maine's Susan Collins, say they'll oppose the measure.

Proposed plan would add $70 billion to stabilize insurance exchanges over the next decade.

The new measure, to be released to all Senate Republicans Thursday, also discards earlier plans to repeal three Obamacare taxes on the wealthy.

Republicans are considering retaining Obamacare’s 3.8 percent tax on net investment income for people who earn more than $200,000 and couples over $250,000.

The vast majority of stakeholders see administrative waste as a cause of poor communication.

The plan includes $15 billion a year in market-stabilizing funds over the next two years and $10 billion a year in 2020 and 2021, according to a person familiar with the plan.

The proposal would continue to provide cost-sharing subsidies to insurers to cover costs of low-income Americans taking part in Obamacare’s insurance exchanges at least through 2019.

Senators say the measure envisions a more gradual transition away from the ACA than the House-passed version.
