The White House gave the House Freedom Caucus a final offer as it tries to win support for a bill to repeal and replace parts of Obamacare, but the conservative group's leader said no deal was reached by Thursday afternoon.
The lack of an agreement throws more doubts on a planned Thursday night vote on the legislation. The conservative contingent has threatened the bill's passage, as its members have said the GOP plan does not go far enough to repeal the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.
President Donald Trump met with the contingent earlier as he and House GOP leaders aim to rally enough support. Following the meeting, though, Freedom Caucus chairman Rep. Mark Meadows told reporters "there are not enough votes" to push the legislation through yet.

I do not like the bill as is. I am told the deal is the Senate cuts OBAMACARE out. Is that not the deal?
We won’t win by shooting ourselves in the foot and we must have the RIGHT endgame/objective in mind.
The right political objective is the restoration of our Free Constitutional Republic.
If we “press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling” of our true objective, then the steps we take to get there will be the right steps.
True. It is the Senate version that counts.
I don’t see how that gets it through because the House leadership is not promoting that so it probably dies in conference. A full repeal is off the table from the WH and Ryan.
I recant my joke.......being against it is a good thing.
I have heard this RNC Give us the Senate and we’ll do this and that. Then it became we need the White House too. They have all three. What is the EXCUSE NOW? The Senate Bill is what counts.
I just see passing the bill as is, and Trump fine tuning it with his pen as moving forward to the high calling, if it dies here, we have gained no ground. That’s all.
If there is NO FULL REPEAL I am against it.
That is what I thought was the process?
Good man - this bill doesn’t come close.
Maybe that’s the way and maybe that’s what you meant, but when you started talking about Obama drawing first blood it sounded like advocating Trump trying to make law himself.
I like Trump, but I’m not sire his vision for our restoration is in sharp relief yet. I pray it will be soon.
“You cant be such a weasel that youd accuse other people of a lack of conservatism when they preferred a candidate who was stronger for full Repeal?”
When/where did I do that? I don’t do “Conservative Shaming”.
Trump has the moral duty to act in whatever manner availble to him, to save as many lives as he possible can.
Acts 5:29
Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
I don't consider that being a dictator, I consider that taking the higher ground.
Sir Thomas More: What would you do? Cut a great road through the law [the Constitution, our only legal bulwark of freedom against the Satanic tyranny of the feds] to get after the Devil?
William Roper: Yes, I'd cut down every [constitutional] law in England to do that!
Sir Thomas More: Oh? And when the last [constitutional] law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the [constitutional] laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of [constitutional] law, for my own safety's sake!
Lots.
That “great road” was “cut” by the dummy on March 23, 2010. I’m praying President Trump, with God’s help, will heal that gaping wound.
The greatest destruction by the unconstitutional Obamabuse is the continued violation and erosion of our Constitution, the only legal bulwark of freedom against the tyranny of the feds. That destruction is not defeated by more unconstitutional acts which further erode our only legal protection against tyranny.
I believe there’s a greater destruction, one more dark and sinister than you can possible imagine. But I won’t get too Biblical with you today, my friend.
If you’re talking about the End Times and the spirit of antichrist and Satan’s soon-to-come manifestation as the beast as the Worldwide Islamic Ruler, I’m getting ready to write a book about all of that. He will almost certainly use Sharia Law to implement his satanic devices.
Remember this. The Constitution is the ONLY legal protection against the incursion of Sharia Law in America. Sharia Law is utterly unconstitutional in any form anywhere in the U.S. If you, for your own personal moral code, further erode the integrity of the Constitution as the Supreme Law of the Land, you (unwittingly) accelerate the ushering in of Satan’s endgame.
The integrity of the Constitution has already been eroded. You can't erode it anymore than making a law that forces people to buy something they don't want. Because if that stands, your just a hop, skip and jump from the interment camps.
By the way did you know that with an executive order President Trump told the IRS not to enforce the individual mandate for health insurance.
What would you call that, a dictator running amok or getting back to the Constitution?
