GOP senators pitch plan that would let some states keep Obamacare

Four Senate Republicans introduced a health-care plan on Monday that promises states a buffet of options for providing health insurance, including keeping their Affordable Care Act exchanges.

The proposal, sponsored by Sens. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Shelley Moore Capito, (R-W.Va.) and Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.), comes as Republican leaders are under pressure to explain how they will prevent more than 20 million people from losing insurance if the GOP makes good on plans to repeal former president Barack Obama’s signature health-care law.
