Tax, Medicaid Tweaks Not Enough As GOP Postpones Vote On Obamacare Replacement


That was the word out of Washington, D.C. today when House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) was forced to delay a planned vote on the GOP's bill to repeal and replace Obamacare. The original proposal was unveiled by Ryan earlier this month (you can read about the initial proposal here). In a last ditch effort to win support, Ryan made a number of tweaks to the proposal including accelerating repeal of certain Obamacare taxes and revamps to Medicaid (you can read about some of them here). President Trump, who had campaigned on a promise to immediately repeal and replace Obamacare, had lobbied hard for the GOP proposal. After hours on Thursday, President Trump reportedly pushed for a vote on Friday and Ryan has agreed.
