Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), one of the most vocal critics of the Senate bill to repeal and replace Obamacare, announced Tuesday that she will support a motion to proceed to a motion to repeal on Obamacare repeal.

It’s not clear exactly which bill or set of bills the Senate will vote on this week. One plan gaining momentum is the “skinny repeal.” With that plan, senators would vote on a bill to strip just a few aspects of Obamacare, and then work out more details on a comprehensive plan with the House in a conference committee.
