Bernie Sanders misses vote on Obamacare repeal bill

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 (UPI) -- After giving an impassioned speech on the Senate floor earlier this week rebuking a plan to de-fund Planned Parenthood, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., missed the vote on the bill that would do just that.

The Senate voted 52-47 on Thursday to essentially gut the Affordable Care Act and remove federal funding from Planned Parenthood. That's 99 of 100 possible votes. The only one missing was Sanders.
