Two Republican senators said they opposed their party's proposed
alternative, making it impossible for the bill to pass in its current form.
The party has been divided on the issue, with moderates concerned about the
effects on the most vulnerable.
President Trump has now called for repeal of Obamacare, so Republicans can
start from a clean slate.
Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell who saddled with this responsibility
said it is now apparent that the effort to repeal and immediately replace the
failure of Obamacare will not be successful.
Also, Democrats have said they will not co-operate to repeal Obamacare, but
that they can work in a bipartisan way to improve it.
Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer said on Twitter, that the second failure of Trumpcare is
proof positive that the core of the bill is unworkable.
