AZUZ: Updating you now on political events from Washington, D.C. A controversial attempt to repeal1 and replace a controversial health care law has fallen short — meaning that the Affordable2 Care Act, also known as Obamacare, will stay at least for now.

Republicans have been trying to repeal and replace this law since it was passed in 2010. And though the House of Representatives approved their plan to do that in May, repeal efforts in the Senate were Republicans have a smaller majority than they do in the House have not been successful.

This week, a few Republican senators said they would not support their party's latest bill, the Graham-Cassidy bill to repeal and replace Obamacare. And yesterday, Senate leaders announced they would not hold a vote.

The political divide over health care was clear earlier this week in a debate hosted by CNN.

SEN. BERNIE SANDERS (I), VERMONT: The truth of the matter is the Affordable Care Act has done some very important things. Let's not throw the baby out with the bath water. What the American people want is not their proposal. A poll came out today, 20 percent of the American people think your idea is a good idea. What the American people want is us to work together to build on and improve the Affordable Care Act.

SEN. BILL CASSIDY (R), LOUISIANA: This is a debate about who has the power. Is it you the patient, or is it the federal government? The narrative3 on the other side is that you don't have the capability4 to care for yourself, that your governor is corrupt5, scheming to take away your protections if you have a preexisting condition. And they think the federal government taking control of your life is a better way to go.

AZUZ: So, what does this mean? Analysts6 say they expect Republicans to continue trying to replace Obamacare in the months ahead. There's also a bipartisan health care plan being discussed in the Senate.
