While Mr. Comey did not go into detail, he appeared to be referring to a Russian-led attack on a contractor in Tennessee, Smartech Corporation, used by the Republican committee to host some of its websites and handle some lists of donors.

Federal investigators have said that a single email server used by that contractor had been penetrated. But it was going out of service and contained outdated material that the Russians probably found to be of little value. People with direct knowledge of the server’s contents said it had been used by Senators Lindsey Graham and John McCain.

An aide in Mr. Graham’s office said the hacking of the email server in question occurred in June. The Graham campaign was using the server to send news clips and campaign releases, the aide said.

Michael Neidorff, chief executive of Centene Corp., noted that more GOP senators are expressing deep concerns with repealing the Affordable Care Act without immediately replacing it.

"I don't think the Republicans even have enough senators at this point" Neidorff said at the JPMorgan Healthcare Investor Conference.

Neidorff also said that if Congress repeals the law's Medicaid expansion, it ultimately would make employer-sponsored plans pricier because hospitals would deliver more uncompensated care and pass the costs along to group plans.

Centene, which mostly covers people below 400 percent of the federal poverty level, has been especially successful in the Obamacare marketplaces. The company covers about 600,000 marketplace customers and more than 1 million members of Medicaid expansion programs.

Neidorff also criticized some of the replacement ideas suggested by House Speaker Paul Ryan. Allowing insurers to sell products across state lines would make it harder for consumers to appeal for claims by muddling which state authority they should go to, he said.

And he said that using block grants for Medicaid, an idea that would result in less federal spending on the state-run program, would hurt states with a growing Medicaid population but help those with a shrinking population.

Republicans need to take a second look at that idea, Neidorff said. He said that he doesn't believe Republicans are willing to bear the blame for upending the law.
