Local health care advocacy groups are tentatively celebrating news that the Senate's latest health care bill is dead, but they're still not calling it a victory.

New federal health care legislation could result in large cuts to Medicaid. Schools often rely on these funds for special education and other health services.

Gov. Eric Holcomb has previously evaded any commitment to releasing internal analysis of the impact federal health care legislation will have on Indiana.

The group of about 50 protested the Senate health care bill outside of Republican Sen. Todd Young's Indianapolis office.

The Senate bill is similar to the House bill in a few key ways. Hoosier Democrats and Republicans point to the weakened insurance market in Indiana.

The bipartisan legislation, authored by Indiana Senators Joe Donnelly and Todd Young, cleared the U.S. Senate with a unanimous vote.

Donnelly becomes the third Democrat to back Judge Neil Gorsuch.

The vote, 88-11, on Wednesday all but ensures former Indiana Sen. Dan Coats will be confirmed as the national intelligence director by the Senate.

Former Indiana Sen. Dan Coats is the fifth person to hold the post created after the Sept. 11 attacks.

The Senate intelligence committee voted 13-2 in favor of Republican former Indiana Sen. Dan Coats to replace James Clapper, who retired at the end of the Obama administration.
