ObamaCare repeal: Where the GOP-Trump plan stands right now

White House effort to win House approval next week for an ObamaCare repeal bill is running head-on into a divided GOP conference struggling to reconcile its differences.

While centrist Rep. Tom MacArthur (R-N.J.) and conservative Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) say they are close to a deal, other Republicans say they are not a part of the agreement and that MacArthur is not bringing other centrists along with him.

Republican lawmakers will hold a conference call on Saturday to discuss the issue.

They’re also likely to confer on another problem: keeping the government open.

Even as the conference seeks to revive ObamaCare repeal legislation, it faces an April 28 deadline to pass legislation that prevents a government shutdown.

And hanging over everything is pressure from a Trump administration that wants to put more points on the board before its 100th day in office, April 29.

Call our Dems and tell them to stay strong. The repubs want to keep the government up and running, hands off health care, and stuff your damn wall. If they want to play chicken, game on. We don't negotiate with terrorists.
