House Republican leaders hoping to pass a health-care reform package, known as the American Health Care Act, have struggled to consolidate their conference behind the legislation. Amid last-minute negotiations, a collection of amendments was added to the bill to coax support from both conservatives and moderates who had expressed reservations.

Assuming no Democrats support the measure, Republicans can lose no more than 22 votes to pass the bill and send it to a much tougher test in the Senate. Below, The Fix is keeping a list of Republicans who have opposed or expressed serious concerns about the legislation.
