President Donald Trump and some House conservatives agreed Friday to make changes in the troubled Republican health care bill in hopes of easing deep party divisions over the overhaul plan. The bill would kill much of former President Barack Obama's 2010 health care law and create new tax credits and curbs on Medicaid, the federal-state health care program for lower-income people. "I want everyone to know I'm 100 percent behind this," Trump said at the White House. Hoping to secure support, Trump was meeting with a group of House conservatives at the Oval Office. Although the House bill has cleared three committees, some lawmakers can visualize scenarios where things come apart.
