The White House and Congress seem to be on completely different pages on their healthcare revival

Published by Business Insider on Thu, 20 Apr 2017


The House Republican plan to repeal and replace Obamacare has made a revival as Congress prepares to return from a two-week break next week. But an divide has emerged between the White House and congressional Republican leaders as to its realistic chances of passing.The White House reportedlywants to get a revised version of theAmerican Health Care Act through the Houseby April 28to show progress on one of President Donald Trump's biggest promises by his 100th dayin office.Senior White House officials said they believea vote could take place next week and are targeting Wednesday for a vote.According to Politico's Adam Cancryn, the White House believes they are "close" to having the votes needed to pass the bill through the House.House GOP leadersaren't singing the same tune.Asenior GOP aide told Business Insider that congressional leaders are not sure whether the bill, even with the adjustments, has enough support to get through the House."The question is whether it can get 216 votes in the House and the answer isn't clear at this time," the aide said. "There is no legislative text and therefore no agreement to do a whip count on."The aide also told Business Insiderthat astrategy call scheduled forSaturday is typical procedure comingback from a recess.The new amendment leaked Wednesday is an attempt to bridge the gap between moderate House Republicans in the Tuesday Group and conservative lawmakers in the House Freedom Caucus to generate enough votes to pass the bill.A Freedom Caucus source told BusinessInsider that 15 to 20 Freedom Caucus members that were against the original AHCA could back the bill if the proposed changes are added, but saidmembers "are cautious until we actually have text."However, the concessions ' mostly the ability for states to get a waiver to eliminate so-called essential health benefits and the community rating ' may drive away moderates in the Republican conference.Before the original planned AHCA vote, which was scrapped at the last minute, TheNew York Times estimated33 Republicans had publicly come out againstthe bill. Republicans can only afford 21 defections in the House.SEE ALSO:Here's the plan that some Republican leaders think will get their Obamacare repeal bill to passJoin the conversation about this storyNOW WATCH: Watch Trump walk out of an executive-order signing ceremony without signing any orders
