Network host Joy Reid said on MSNBC's "Deadline: White House" that Sens. Susan Collins , Lisa Murkowski and Shelly Moore Capito have stalled the repeal of Obamacare because they are "leading kind of the resistance" to President Trump. On Wednesday, Reid said, "When it comes to politics I think it's such a man's world for so long - it's so much of politics driven by men telling women what's best for them.

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says the Senate will vote early next week on trying to move ahead on a straight-up repeal of Barack Obama's health care law. McConnell made the announcement Tuesday night.
Some Republican senators are already saying they won't vote to repeal Obamacare without providing a replacement for it, despite Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's proposal to do so Monday night after it became clear the GOP health care bill did not have enough votes to pass . Sen. Susan Collins said she would not vote on a motion to proceed, NBC reported Tuesday.
Two more Republican senators announced opposition to the GOP health care bill Monday, in another blow to the Republican efforts to repeal and replace former President Barack Obama's signature legislation. Republican Senator Jerry Moran of Kansas and Mike Lee of Utah issued separate statements late Monday, saying the long-sought Republican health care plan will not have their support.
Protesters again took to Capitol Hill on Monday to protest Senate Republicans' proposed health care bill, staging a demonstration in the Hart Senate Office Building, where several people were reportedly arrested. Demonstrators there urged Republican senators to vote against the bill, which would dismantle key portions of the Affordable Care Act and cause millions of people to lose their health care coverage, largely due to cuts to Medicaid.
Senate Republicans are still moving ahead with a vote on their health care bill next week, but barring some sudden changes of hearts, it looks like they will fall short of the votes - and no one seems to have a real idea of what to do then. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is expected to release the text of a revised bill Thursday, along with an amendment drafted by Sen. Ted Cruz that would dramatically undermine protections for people with pre-existing conditions in the name of lowering costs for healthy people.
One set of policies would contain all of the Obamacare protections, including covering those with pre-existing conditions, offering all 10 essential health benefits and limiting consumers' financial exposure. The other plans would not have to adhere to these rules, allowing them to offer less comprehensive policies at a cheaper price.

But women in Washington have been living with less-overt gender-derived challenges to their authority long before Trump came along, as underscored by a new report from the Center for American Women in Politics and Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University.

After weeks of withering criticism over their plan to take health insurance from 22 million in order to finance tax cuts for rich people, some Senate Republicans have been kicking around an idea: Maybe don't give tax cuts to rich people. Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Mike Rounds of South Dakota and Bob Corker of Tennessee have proposed the idea of retaining at least the 3.8% surtax on high earners' investment income - though the same political and policy logic would seem to also apply to another Obamacare tax, the 0.9% surtax on high-earners' labor income.
