In a possible breakthrough for US Republicans' chaotic effort to roll back Obamacare, three moderate lawmakers emerged from a White House meeting with President Donald Trump on Wednesday and said a revised bill might pass. The effort to push through a healthcare bill is showing Trump the challenge of placating various Republican factions. Asked when the House would vote on a final version of a bill, Ryan said: "We're getting extremely close." Even if the bill passes the House, it faces an uphill battle in the Senate. Called the American Health Care Act, the Republican bill repeals most Obamacare taxes, including a penalty for not buying health insurance.
