Republican Health Care Bill Has Changed Since First Attempt

After numerous amendments and five months of public debate, the Republican bill to repeal Obamacare is closer than ever to passing the House of Representatives.

President Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan can afford 23 defections in the Republican ranks if they want to pass a bill. Currently, there are about 18 to 20 members who oppose the bill, according to different counts. That’s at least two fewer “no’s” than yesterday, and more could come on board in the next day.
