USA Senate on Healthcare votes DOWN both broad Obamacare repeal, and repeal without replace
Senate Votes Down Broad Obamacare Repeal, https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/25/us/politics/senate-health-care.html, 25-jul-2017.
The above article states that on Tuesday (25th Jul 2017) the USA Senate voted 51-50 (Vice-President Mike Pence cast his vote to ensure victory) to begin debate on Obamacare. (I think technically it was the House of Representatives (passed) bill that came up for debate in the Senate). But later on in the same day the vote on a comprehensive Republican plan (which I think had many amendments to the House bill) to repeal and replace Obamacare failed 43-57!

According to the above report the USA Senate voted down a proposal to repeal (major portions of) Obamacare without replace (I think it proposed a delayed replacement within two years). The vote count was 45-55! Seven Republicans voted against it (repeal without replace)!
