A group of 10 governors, including Republicans, is urging the Senate to reject a proposal for a so-called "skinny repeal" of Obamacare.

"The Senate should also reject efforts to amend the bill into a 'skinny repeal,' which is expected to accelerate health plans leaving the individual market, increase premiums, and result in fewer Americans having access to coverage," they said in a letter Wednesday to Senate leaders.

The Republican governors who signed the letter are:

  • Brian Sandoval of Nevada
  • Charles Baker of Massachusetts
  • John Kasich of Ohio
  • Larry Hogan of Maryland
  • Phil Scott of Vermont
The following Democratic governors also signed it:

  • John Hickenlooper of Colorado
  • John Bel Edwards of Louisiana
  • Steve Bullock of Montana
  • Terry McAuliffe of Virginia
  • Tom Wolf of Pennsylvania
