WASHINGTON (AP) – The Latest on the Republican effort to replace the Obama health care law (all times local):
3:15 p.m.
President Donald Trump says he is sitting in the Oval Office “with a pen in hand” waiting to sign a bill to repeal and replace the health care law. Trump says in an interview Wednesday with CBN Founder Pat Robertson that the health care bill “has to get passed.”
Trump says if the bill doesn’t pass the Senate “it would be very bad” and he will be “very angry about it and a lot of people will be very upset.”
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was expected to release a revised bill repealing much of the 2010 law on Thursday. But Republicans still lack the votes to pass the bill.
