Freedom Caucus supports Obamacare repeal deal

In a major win for GOP leadership, the leadership of the House Freedom Caucus said Wednesday that it supports a new deal to repeal Obamacare.

But support from centrist Republicans is lagging.

"While the revised version still does not fully repeal Obamacare, we are prepared to support it to keep our promise to the American people to lower healthcare costs," Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., the House Freedom Caucus chairman, said in a statement.

Meadows did not indicate whether all of the approximately three dozen members of the group would vote for the bill. The Freedom Caucus typically supports legislation only when 80 percent of its membership is behind it.

The number of Freedom Caucus lawmakers supporting the measure is critical.

As long as the insurance company's are still allowed to make the final medical decision based on cost for their profit - this is no good!

As long as Congress continues to exempt itself from these provisions - I know the citizens are getting screwed!

Get Paul Ryan out and allow someone who will push and unite the Republican agenda. Ryan pushed for a Republican House / Senate / White House and now he got it he is fighting it. He never supported Pres Trump. That should tell sensible people who he is.
