The Senate rejected a third Republican proposal to repeal the Affordable Care Act early Friday morning. The “skinny” repeal amendment, called the Health Care Freedom Act, would have repealed the mandates that most individuals have health insurance and that large employers cover their employees, among other provisions.

Earlier this week, the Senate voted against two other amendments: one to repeal and replace the current health law with a new plan and one to just partly repeal it.
