Tough road for Congress after last-ditch effort on health care fails

A last-ditch proposal by Senate Republicans to unwind the Affordable Care Act collapsed Tuesday, leaving Obamacare's critics nearly out of time to meet a procedural deadline this weekend and notably short on ideas for a consensus that could pass.

So after seven years of promising to expunge President Obama's signature domestic initiative from the books — a commitment that helped the GOP take control first of the House and the Senate and finally of the White House — Republicans are left with hard choices about what to do now.

And how to explain it to their voters.
