Senate Republicans are feeling pressure to pass a health care bill to repeal parts of the Affordable Care Act, and leaders say they are getting closer.
That's created a series of tough choices and resulted in difficulty in drafting legislation that's acceptable to Republican senators from states with diverse needs.
"Now the Senate I'm sure will follow suit and get a bill across the finish line this summer that will be great health care and I'm looking forward to seeing it", Trump said.
"The whole federalism component for states having the flexibility to try different approaches that may work for that state. was one of the lynchpins that got a lot of conservatives", Sanford told IJR after a Freedom Caucus meeting Tuesday night.
Short wouldn't reveal when a vote might come to the Senate floor, but said they have discussed the matter with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who signaled that the Senate is far along in producing its own text. Usually, the first six months of a new presidency - especially with a Congress controlled by the same party - are prime time for legislating before the midterm campaign season begins. I promised to repeal it. Scolds from the House now say we ran on the Ryan plan to replace Obamacare with slightly less Obamacare. He was referring to tax-code revisions, another legislative priority Republicans have established for themselves.
Cooper said he's particularly concerned about GOP tax plans because he said they would make it harder to reach his teacher pay and other goals.
"The President will welcome Representatives and Senators to the White House to talk more about what's next on the legislative agenda", said spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
"A little bird told me that something like that might be rolled out", Cornyn said.
The Republicans have been attacking Obamacare for seven years now. And so now is the time to start coming up with some tangible alternatives and building consensus. It's unclear when a physical draft of the bill will be produced.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Republicans have expressed differences on the Medicaid portion of the bill.
Capito said that a slower rollback would be "helpful", although she conceded, "I'm not saying that I support phasing it out". Republicans must pass a bill by the end of the fiscal year in order to use the budget reconciliation process and also avoid a filibuster attempt by Democrats. But right now, it's not clear if Republicans can cobble together fifty votes.

Indeed, it is only by virtue of Falcinelli’s prowess in the final third that Crotone still remains in contention to survive. In Romelu Lukaku, Koeman has a player with the capability of firing Everton to far headier heights than seventh place.
"While we do have a press assistant opening in the Communications Department, Senator Graham has not applied and should not make public statements on behalf of Senator Rand Paul", Paul spokesman Sergio Gor said in a statement.
With that much on its plate, the odds of Congress being able to get a health care reform package that can pass both the House and Senate on the President's desk before the recess seems bleak. Over the Memorial Day recess, Sen.
That didn't impress Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.).
But now, with pressing budget deadlines looming and President Donald Trump eager to focus on tax legislation, Senate GOP leaders have decided it's time to vote and move on. They said it was impossible to reconcile the various wings of the GOP.
For some Republicans, their sights are set on the more immediate and necessary tasks of completing the annual spending bills that are needed to avert a government shutdown when the budget year ends September 30, and on raising the debt ceiling to avert a first-ever default.
While Republican leaders are working on the policy and politics of crafting a passable bill, the mechanics of the bill have been approved. Therefore, the legislative vehicle has still not officially been delivered to the Senate from the House.
Whatever the White House's efforts to push ahead with policy plans, there will be a spotlight on testimony by James Comey, the Federal Bureau of Investigation director fired by Trump last month, to the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday.
"He's irretrievably gone. He's not going to vote for any bill that has refundable tax credits to help low-income people buy health care", South Carolina Sen. The initial Republican timetable on healthcare was for President Trump to sign a bill two months ago.
Some Republican leaders sound much more like they are wishing that will happen than are counting on it.
"I don't know how we get to 50 (votes) at the moment", McConnell told Reuters. Over on the Senate side, the upper chamber is still dealing with Executive Branch appointments that the Trump Administration has only slowly been churning out, including a number of top Ambassadorial appointments that remain as unfilled as they were when I wrote about the issue in May.
