WASHINGTON, July 17 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell conceded failure on Monday in efforts to repeal and replace former President Barack Obama's signature legislation, also known as the Obamacare.

"Regretfully, it is now apparent that the effort to repeal and immediately replace the failure of Obamacare will not be successful," McConnell said in a statement late Monday night.

His statement came closely after two more Republican senators announced opposition against the revised Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA), a GOP bill designed to overhaul the Obamacare.
