“We don’t anticipate any Democratic help at all, so it will be a simple majority vote situation,” McConnell told The Associated Press.

McConnell’s comments come after the House on Thursday narrowly voted to pass the American Health Care Act, which repeals elements of ObamaCare. Not a single Democrat supported the House measure.

The legislation will now move to the Senate, which is conducting a working review of the House plan. The GOP healthcare plan eliminates ObamaCare's Medicaid expansion and the individual mandate that requires individuals to purchase coverage or pay a penalty to the government.

Several senators have expressed concern over the House decision to vote on the bill before an updated Congressional Budget Office (CBO) score.
