The current US Senate GOP plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has failed for now after four GOP Senators announced their opposition to the bill. Senate author Senator McConnell floated a plan to simply repeal the Affordable Care Act, which quickly failed as well.

This is a major victory for all who have advocated for maintaining the ACA. We have won a battle, but not the war. The GOP will come back with a new bill that they will attempt to force through Congress to the president's desk.

Thank you for your consistent advocacy in support of the ACA. Your strong advocacy work has delayed the passage of this dangerous repeal plan.

Millions of Americans will be able to keep their health care plans for at least a little longer because of your calls in opposition to the GOP plan to repeal and replace the ACA.

Thank you to the Children's Defense Fund, the Center for Public Policy Priorities and all the Cover Texas Now partners for your amazing efforts to fight Congress' Medicaid cuts and ACA repeal bills.

I will continue to fight for your right to health care and save Obamacare.
