STORY HIGHLIGHTS
One more GOP senator opposing a motion to proceed would stop the bill
The CBO is due to release its score of the revised bill early next week
Washington (CNN)Senate Republicans unveiled a revised version of their health care bill Thursday with significant changes -- including parts of an amendment designed to bring conservatives on board -- in hopes of getting closer to their yearslong goal of repealing and replacing Obamacare.

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell needs the support of 50 of 52 GOP senators to proceed to a floor debate on the bill, and two senators have already said they will not support that motion. That means just one more GOP senator coming out against the motion to proceed would stop the bill, as written, in its tracks.
