A Republican politician has blamed "female senators" for the spluttering efforts by his party to pass a healthcare bill. But there are deep divisions on what the Republican bill should contain. But if that procedural vote passes, it is not clear what kind of bill senators would then be considering. He added: "Some of the people that are opposed to this, they're some female senators from the North East." There was an outcry when Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell drafted the first healthcare bill in a group of 13 that did not include any women.
