Just an hour after Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows publicly announced that his conservative wing of the Republican party will now support a revised Obamacare replacement bill which incorporates the so-called MacArthur Amendment, Axios, quoting Republican Study Committee Chairman Mark Walker, is reporting that a new vote could be called for as early as this Friday.
A Friday health care vote isn’t “outside the realm,” Republican Study Committee Chairman Mark Walker told Axios, adding that people are discussing a Friday vote and things are “even trending that direction.”
“Most of them like what they see, so we’re considering to grow the vote, and when we’re ready, we’ll move,” said House Majority Whip Steve Scalise.
As we noted previously, the “MacArthur Amendment” (summarized here)
effectively allows individual states to ‘opt out’ of certain Obamacare regulations which require minimum coverage and restrict the ability to insurers to charge varying rates based on an individual’s health.
