Trump aides & conservative Republicans hold talks to revive healthcare bill

Top White House officials met with moderate and conservative Republicans in the US House of Representatives yesterday in an effort to revive a plan to repeal and replace Obamacare. Key members of the administration, including Vice President Mike Pence, invited a group of moderate Republicans known as the "Tuesday Group" to the White House. Pence then went to Capitol Hill to meet with the Freedom Caucus, a group of House conservatives



who last month derailed a healthcare bill backed by President Donald Trump.

U.S. Representative Chris Collins, a member of the Tuesday Group said the White House would like to see a revised bill come up for a vote as early as week's end. House Speaker Paul Ryan was forced to cancel a vote on a bill 10 days ago, to replace the 2010 Affordable Care Act, popularly known as Obamacare.
