Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump is personally calling individual members of the influential conservative House Freedom Caucus Wednesday evening as House leaders work on a possible deal to secure the votes to pass the GOP health care bill.

I seldom comment on any CNN story. Most blogs are a better source.
Mark Meadows. He leads the Freedom Caucus.
Preexisting conditions are like car insurance after you wreck the car. If the government wants to help people who have a specific condition, it can, but not by making insurance companies cover it.
I hear you but I want to defend Trump. He bought their RINO bull shit.It is all RINOcrap,Trump has been here 60 days!!He needs to reject communism of Rinocare. He is changing it as we speak!!
I am hearing now that he has made a deal. If Trump swings the Freedom Caucus, it is huge!! What a president. What a day for TRUMP !!!
Oh, this is rich:
“If this is passed, Pres. Trump will have LOST his
base FOREVER.”
dood, when did you decide you were Trump’s base? When did you decide FR is Trump’s base?
You’re not. His base are those white voters in the Rust Belt who voted for Obama twice. They aren’t conservative. How could they be, voting for Obama twice.
What they are is abused, and he’s the only one who sought them out and promised to start undoing that abuse.
That doesn’t mean he’s going to be conservative. It means he’s going to target help for them. For example, by browbeating companies to bring jobs back, even if doing so hurts profits via higher pay.
That’s not conservative.
Just shut up. He is the ONLY one who could have beaten Hillary. He put her out in the woods. No one else could have.
Stand with him.
REPEAL 0BAMACARE!
(Later, we can talk.)
Rence is a Gope / Ryan troll plus a snake in the grass in the wh and setting up trump .
I fear the race to push this insurance / drug co give always is huge mistake .
What happen to all the better bills when the soros puppet was playing dictator ..that he blocked ?
Nothing good comes from traitor Ryan sadly.
I hope I am wrong but every time the Ryan- Gope ram stuff thru it's bad for the little guy.
He is owned .
He’s voting no.
I am hearing that Trump has swung the Freedom Caucus.If true , Im in.We have representative government. Not WENDLE GOVERNMENT!! If I was king -I would have it my way but let me tell you this .If President Trump has satisfied the FREEDOM caucus — I AM IN!! and he has ripped victory out of the teeth of defeat and Paul Rino can go to hello because he has been disemboweled!! WE ARE WINNING!!! What a day. Obama Wire tapped Trump transition team. What the hell did he know and when did he know it? Praise Jesus!!~ What a day!!
It’s mind-boggling.
Uber-RINO Charlie Dent says now he’s voting no.
That’s about the highest praise the new bill could get LOL!
Congressmen Meadows and Bratt were just on Hannity and they feel they are close to a deal. They only have to work out the language.
I’m reading the comments on here on almost everyone is totally delusional save a few. Congress has never actually repealed Obamacare in it’s entirety. They have repealed key parts of it just as they are doing now, but Obama vetoed them. Repeat. Congress has NEVER fully repealed the law because it cannot do that through reconciliation.
I just chuckle with all the diehard Trump supporters now threatening to abandon him because he’s not doing what YOU think he should do. Even now, all of those who have stood by him underestimate him and think he’s selling you out. It’s unbelievable really. People here need to educate themselves and stop with the hyperbole over ever little thing. Read and learn.
I know what you are trying to convey, but NOTHING ever gets changed for the BETTER in Washington
This is our ONE SHOT. Ain’t gonna be a next one.
#### this bill.
You say “since there is a republican majority”.
Well then why not just make a good bill after repealing it?
And why, with a republican congress, is healthcare for illegals still in the bill?
I am cautiously optimistic...It depends on what the deal with the Freedom Caucus includes.
Brat is my rep, I am proud of him. It will be interesting to see what amendments are now included to get Brat on board.
Is that you, Paul Ryan?
Very astute analysis
What do folks think will happen if this goes down?
Will it be more or less likely that the wall gets built?
That tax reform happens?
That obamacare is ever repealed/ replaced?
If this goes down Trump’s presidency is severely crippled. The dems and media will smell blood, not to mention other republicans. You’ll hear noise from ka sick, Cruz, and others about 2020 primaries.
Is this this the best bill? No, but right now it passes or trump pretty much becomes a lame duck and nothing else will happen. No wall, no tax reform, no trade reform, no nothing.
His presidency could literally be over this time tomorrow with everyone in a holding pattern until 2020
I say get this done, move on to his other issues and focus on that
Fire up Wendle!
Yeah, this bill is something like visiting your great aunt Millie and instead of pinching your cheek she tries to kiss you.
Do not want.
