The Senate voted on a version of the GOP plan to repeal and replace Obamacare but it only received 43 votes and it needed 60 to pass. Senator Ben Sasse understands how frustrating this process is for Nebraskans and others are.

Sasse says there was a vote late last year when President Obama was in office to repeal the healthcare law and nearly all Republicans voted for it. Sasse says that is because they knew President Obama would veto it. The tables have turned.

Sasse says 51 of 52 Republican senators campaigned on repeal and voted for it in the past. He would also like to see Democrats come back to the table and take part in the replacement plan.
