White House plans Obamacare showdown next week

Senior White House and Republican congressional leaders are planning another health care showdown next week as they seek again to pass legislation to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.

The text of a new bill is likely to circulate Friday "or by the weekend," White House officials say, with intentions to have a vote by midweek before the president reaches his 100-day mark.

The White House believes they are "close" to having the votes, one senior official said, but "people don't want to commit without seeing the text."

Oh yeah, that's the ticket- toss a controversial and already failed bill into the mix just before a shutdown vote. Great.....
