Republicans in the U.S. Senate on Thursday unveiled a draft bill to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare.
Heller left some wiggle room to eventually support the bill.
Due to unanimous opposition from Democrats, Republican leaders can afford no more than two Republican defections for the bill to pass. Paul has argued that the measure doesn't go far enough to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and, like the ACA, bails out large insurance companies.

He added that Nevada "is one of the most improved states in the country" in expanding coverage. The GOP holds a 52-48 advantage over Democrats in the Senate, with Vice President Pence standing ready to break ties in the GOP's favor. But it's likely to track with the House bill, which, according to the CBO, would leave 14 million more people without health insurance next year, compared to Obamacare, and 23 million more by 2026. The plan would repeal Obamacare taxes, restructure subsidies to insurance customers that are based on their incomes and phase out Medicaid's expansion program.
A vote on the bill could come next week.

"The working poor, disabled and elderly appear to shoulder the burden in this latest version of Congress' health care rewrite", Edwards said in a statement.
"But because it's not a foregone conclusion, we still have a chance to make a difference", de Blasio said.
His presentation on Thursday of the Senate's health care measure to Republican colleagues - after the White House and key lobbyists got a peek the night before - was met with something other than unbridled enthusiasm.
"We have to protect our citizens and this is going to be very hard for us", he said.
