Top Senate Republicans said Tuesday that they want to pass legislation to repeal and replace ObamaCare next week, despite deep divisions over the House bill.

House Republican leaders are struggling to win support for their legislation repealing ObamaCare ahead of a vote scheduled for Thursday. Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), the leader of the House Freedom Caucus, said Tuesday that his caucus has the votes to block the House repeal and replacement bill.

In the Senate, six Republicans have announced opposition to the bill, which faces an uphill climb to get to 51 votes.

Because the legislation is being considered under special budgetary rules, it cannot be filibustered.

By vowing to bring up the bill next week, McConnell is taking head-on suggestions that the House legislation could be dead on arrival in the Senate.

Republicans have pledged to roll back the Affordable Care Act for years, and McConnell argued Tuesday that GOP lawmakers have a "strong obligation" to follow up on that promise. Under the Senate's rules, lawmakers will be able to offer changes to the House bill during a marathon session known as votearama.
