Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell introduced a slimmed-down health care bill late on Thursday aimed at keeping Republican ambitions to repeal and replace Obamacare alive.

The bill repeals the more unpopular parts of Obamacare, such as the individual and employee mandates for health insurance, and largely leaves Medicaid untouched.
