Vice President Mike Pence pushed Republicans in Congress to “step up” and repeal Obamacare after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell abandoned plans Monday night to simultaneously repeal and replace the 2010 healthcare law.

“The Senate should vote to repeal now and replace later, or return to the legislation carefully crafted in the House and Senate,” Pence said Tuesday during remarks to the National Retail Federation. “But either way, inaction is not an option. Congress needs to step up. Congress needs to do their job, and Congress needs to do their job now.”
