President Donald Trump gave his blessing to a bipartisan health-care bill to pay the same insurance subsidies that the president said hed halt last week, according to a Republican senator working on the package.
Senate Republicans gave up on their last-ditch proposal to repeal Obamacare Tuesday as opposition in their own ranks ended months of fruitless efforts to gut the Affordable Care Act.
Senate Republicans agreed to begin floor debate on health-care legislation, a hard-fought step amid uncertainty about exactly what plan senators will ultimately be asked to vote on.
Several key Republican holdouts on health-care legislation said they will vote to begin debate Tuesday afternoon, even though senators dont know exactly where the legislation will end up.
Republicans can only lose two votes and still pass their embattled health bill, with several Republicans undecided over whether to proceed.
