In the past 15 years, healthcare has consumed a larger portion of dollars while the amount spent on retirement programs is on the decline.

A months-long effort by Senate Republicans to pass health legislation collapsed early Friday after GOP Senator John McCain joined two of his colleagues to block a stripped-down Obamacare repeal bill.

Republicans say this week’s debate may ultimately lead to a bill that merely ends the mandate that all Americans have insurance or pay a penalty, along with a few other provisions.

GOP leaders will hold votes on a slew of different health bills to see how close they can get to passing something.

Several key Republican holdouts on healthcare legislation said they will vote to begin debate Tuesday afternoon, even though senators don’t know exactly where the legislation will end up.

Despite uncertainty over reform efforts in Washington, employers need to prepare for next year now.

Senate Republican leaders must decide which healthcare proposal they’ll ask members to vote on this week, in what has become a series of all-out efforts to get their own members on board.
