Senate Republican Conference Chair John Thune of South Dakota said that if the Supreme Court “give[s] us seven months to fix this, we’d love the opportunity to try to come up with a better alternative.”

Wyoming Senator John Barrasso, the leader of the efforts to write a Republican alternative, also didn’t discuss details of the fallback plan. “We’ll bring that out after the Supreme Court makes a ruling,” he told reporters.

Representative Paul Ryan, the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, told Bloomberg that his party “will have a Republican alternative to deal with this,” but also wouldn’t offer any specifics.
