Health Care Bill Remains In Limbo… No Vote Expected
The vote is off. House leaders scrap plans to vote Thursday on a measure to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.
FOX’s Jared Halpern has more from Capitol Hill:
Republicans had planned to mark the seventh anniversary of the Affordable Care Act by passing the law’s repeal and replacement in the House. That vote is now cancelled as House GOP leaders and President Trump continue negotiating possible changes to win over broader consensus within the party.
A group of conservative Republicans making up the House Freedom Caucus returned from a session at the White House telling reporters there still wasn’t a deal. They want more insurance requirements scrapped.
And moderate Republicans are also voicing concerns, several of them signaled no votes.
With no support from Democrats, Republicans can afford fewer than two dozen defections to pass the measure.
On Capitol Hill, Jared Halpern, FOX News.
