Changes to GOP ObamaCare repeal flips some conservatives

A proposed amendment to the GOP’s ObamaCare repeal bill appears to be flipping some conservative lawmakers from “no” to “yes.”

Rep. David Brat (R-Va.), a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, told reporters Tuesday evening that he would likely support the American Health Care Act (AHCA) as long as discussions on what would be in the amendment appear in the legislative text.

“If it shows up in the language the way we discussed it, then yes,” Brat said.

Asked if other Freedom Caucus members would support the bill, he said he didn’t want to speak for anyone else.

But, he said, the compromise being discussed is “very promising and a lot of people like it.”
