President Donald Trump, according to Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney, is done negotiating, and House Republicans are scheduled to vote Friday. If the vote fails, Mulvaney said, the president was prepared to leave Obamacare in place. There are still a number of Republicans sitting on the fence, but once it’s clear the bill would lose, more members may decide to vote no. The legislation that was to be put to a vote Thursday was said to be a take-it-or-leave-it, final offer from the White House. It contained clear conservative wins, including the elimination of essential benefits such as maternity care and mental illness treatment.
