Representative Fred Upton of Michigan told reporters at the White House after a meeting with President Donald Trump that hes ready to vote for the bill once a new amendment he helped devise is added.
House GOP leaders arent ready to hold a vote this week on their stalled health-care bill, despite intense pressure from the White House to deliver on a long-promised repeal of the ACA.
The new enthusiasm stems from an amendment that would give states the authority to apply for waivers from some of Obamacares requirements under certain conditions.
The Trump administration expects the House to vote on health care reform soon after lawmakers return from recess on Tuesday, but a senior GOP congressional aide said there's no vote coming.
When Congress returns from break, it has 5 days to work to keep the federal government open. Will conflict over the border wall or health care derail their efforts?
