Senators have indicated talks have spent little time on perhaps the toughest issue: How to pay for a plan that would cover more people and offer lower premiums than the House bill.
While certain changes helped gain votes in the House, the CBO said the alterations to the AHCA bill would undermine protections for the sick and destabilize insurance markets for about a sixth of the U.S. population.
Some Senate Republicans have complained that even though House Republicans considered their bill in open committee meetings, there were no public hearings to hear outside views.
When questioned what he would've done if President Trump asked him to overturn Roe v. Wade, Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch said, 'I would have walked out the door.'
President Trump nominated Neil Gorsuch, a Colorado judge, to fill Scalia's spot on the Supreme Court. Mitch McConnell says Gorsuch will be confirmed, but it will be a battle as Democrats try to halt Gorsuch's appointment.
Chuck Schumer told reporters that Democrats relish watching the internecine fights among Republicans he predicts cant find an acceptable Obamacare replacement.
