As somewhat expected, the are trying to win over the Freedom Caucus with changes to the bill.

Posted by ty97 Mar 23 '17, 04:14

Particularly, gutting Obamacare minimum coverage requirement regulations. But Freedom Caucus still not committing to be on board because, wait for it, they want pre-existing conditions requirement removed too.

And now moderates are reconsidering the bill.

We don't even know what the bill will be that they vote on today. And I'm past having any clue if it will survive.

- It matters in that if they get it done, we're hosed. If they fail, nothing changes at the moment. - Will Hunting Mar 23, 06:19 1
  - They'll eventually get it passed and it will be awful. They won't vote today and if they do it won't pass but eventually - Krusty Mar 23, 06:21
