Leadership Banking On Trump's Willingness To Arm-Twist Reluctant Lawmakers

The success of the Republicans' health care plan may depend on lawmakers' fear of re-election retribution from the president.

Two House committees released long-awaited draft measures that聽House Speaker Paul Ryan and GOP leaders negotiated with the White House, and made expedited plans to take up the measures Wednesday. The proposal would scrap the underpinnings of Obamacare, including its mandate to buy insurance and many of its taxes, and establish a new refundable, age-based tax credit to help people buy insurance. Leaders aim to get a final measure to Trump鈥檚 desk by mid-April, which leaves little room for error. (House, 3/6)

The White House聽 praised the House Republicans鈥 plan to repeal and replace ObamaCare on Monday, but stopped short of fully endorsing the proposal.聽White House press secretary Sean Spicer said the legislation鈥檚 release 鈥渕arks an important step toward restoring healthcare choices and affordability back to the American people.鈥 (Fabian, 3/6)
