Washington (CNN) Senate Republicans tried to troll their Democratic colleagues into revealing an intra-party rift and casting potentially politically damaging votes for single-payer health insurance on Thursday. Democrats didn't take the bait. In a purely political move, Montana Republican Sen. Steve Daines offered an amendment to the GOP's Obamacare repeal bill Thursday that mirrored, word-for-word, the single-payer insurance program that Rep. John Conyers, D-Michigan, has proposed. Instead, Democrats -- led by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who plans to soon introduce his own single-payer "Medicare-for-all" plan, which is expected to draw Democratic co-sponsors -- decried the GOP's handling of the process of overhauling the nation's health care system and largely voted "present."Republican Sen.

"But I do hope, by the way, at some point within this debate, if we can -- if not, certainly in the near future -- to in fact be introducing a _-for-all, single-payer program.
