Mitch McConnell is resorting to a "skinny repeal" plan, a last-ditch effort in which a series of amendments repeal certain parts of the ACA.

The Senate finally released the text to its "skinny repeal" plan on Thursday.

Republican senators formed the last-ditch effort, called the "Health Care Freedom Act" after earlier votes on the Senate's repeal and replace plan, and a repeal without a replacement plan failed.

The skinny bill includes a series of amendments that would aim to repeal certain unpopular parts of the Affordable Care Act.

The bill is nowhere near as extensive as the full-repeal plan or the Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA). But it would seek to alter the much-criticized mandates that Republicans have targeted for years.
