Four conservative Republican senators announced they opposed the GOP Senate leadership's health care bill[1] as written.

Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Ted Cruz of Texas and Mike Lee of Utah said in a joint statement they're "not ready to vote for this bill."

Republicans can only lose two members of their 52-senator caucus to pass their proposal to repeal and replace Obamacare.

A number of other GOP senators are avoiding outright supporting the new health care bill unveiled by Republican leaders Thursday morning -- saying they need more time to read the fine print before taking a stand.
