Look, Deal Heller wants to remain a senator, does n’t Deal Heller ? And I think the people of your state, which I know very well, I think they’re gon na appreciate what you hopefully will do, any senator who votes against starting debate is really telling America that you’re fine with ObamaCare. Deal Heller said in June Deal Heller would oppose the first version of the Senate’s health care bill. Senate Republicans are expected to hold another vote on health care this week but there’s some confusion as to what legislation they would be voting on or how it would affect millions of Americans whose access to health care has been in limbo for months. Senate leaders are expected to hold a procedural vote Tuesday -- on something. The White White House and Republican leaders have been vague on whether the legislation will seek to replace former President Barack Obama’s health care law or simply repeal it. Vice President Pence said Monday that.
