Republicans are moving ahead today with a vote on their amended health care bill in the House of Representatives — their second attempt to bring the bill to a vote since March, when they pulled it from the floor.
Republican leaders and the White House spent Wednesday scrambling for votes, and the margin is expected to be razor thin.
The vote on health care will happen sometime between 1:15 p.m. and 2:15 p.m., according to a schedule sent out this morning by House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.
Opponents of the bill are attacking Republicans for scheduling a vote before the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has analyzed the amended bill.
If the bill passes the House, there are still major roadblocks ahead in the Senate, where the bill is expected to undergo significant changes.
At the end of March, Republican leaders attempted to pass their Obamacare replacement bill in the House. But Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin pulled the bill at the last minute at the request of President Trump.
The bill in its original form was unable to garner enough support from House Republicans.
